    Author: Gencsi E, Lux E, Kaduk B, Roedl W, Schmidt H, Gebhardt C, Lux G.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1986 May; 18(3):105-7. PubMed ID: 3487446.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoid tumors may develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. They constitute 1.5% of all gastrointestinal tumors (1). The duodenum is one of the least common sites of this tumor, with a reported incidence varying between 0.2% and 8.9% (2, 3). We report on a case of a bleeding duodenal carcinoid in a patient who underwent bilateral nephrectomy for malignant hypertension.
