ABSTRACT
We report a patient who presented for elective exploratory laparotomy, and resection of a pelvic mass, which was thought to be ovarian carcinoma. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated right-sided valvular heart lesions, which suggested the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome before a pathologic confirmation was obtained. This article discusses the classical presentation and anesthetic management of patients with carcinoid syndrome and emphasizes the importance of proper preoperative diagnosis and careful planning if the incidence and severity of the symptoms that this condition can provoke are to be reduced.
