RESUMO
Carcinoid heart disease, caused by primary ovarian carcinoid tumour, is a rare form of valvular heart disease. This form of heart disease usually presents with symptoms of right-sided valvular dysfunction, ultimately leading to right-sided heart failure. This entity is unique as it develops in the absence of liver metastasis. We report a case of 75 year-old woman with primary ovarian carcinoid tumour who presented with symptoms of severe right-sided heart failure and successfully underwent pulmonic and tricuspid valve replacement along with a right ventricular (RV) outflow patch enlargement. This patient later underwent uneventful resection of the primary ovarian carcinoid tumour, with complete resolution of her symptoms.

Published articles on iliotibial band friction syndrome have been reviewed. These articles cover the epidemiology, etiology, anatomy, pathology, prevention, and treatment of the condition. This article describes (1) the various etiological models that have been proposed to explain iliotibial band friction syndrome; (2) some of the imaging methods, research studies, and clinical experiences that support or call into question these various models; (3) commonly proposed treatment methods for iliotibial band friction syndrome; and (4) the rationale behind these methods and the clinical outcome studies that support their efficacy.
