  • Title: Multiple small-bowel carcinoids presenting with gastrointestinal hemorrhage: a case report.
    Author: McNamee CJ, Macarthur C, Jewell LD, Kneteman NM.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1990 Aug; 33(4):291-3. PubMed ID: 2383837.
    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal hemorrhage from a small-bowel lesion can be a problem diagnostically and therapeutically. The authors present a case of multiple small-bowel carcinoids, which were the cause of multiple upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages over a 15-year period. Despite advances in endoscopy and diagnostic imaging, accurate localization and definitive diagnosis remain elusive in such cases. Optimal treatment depends on careful clinical evaluation and timely laparotomy.
