Résumé

Carcinoid syndrome is observed in one third of carcinoid tumors and usually appears when there are liver metastases. One of the main complications of this syndrome is the appearance of tricuspid or pulmonary valvular disease. We report a 56 years old male presenting with malaise and a weight loss of 10 kg. On physical examination, a heart murmur suspicious of a double tricuspid lesion was found. The echocardiogram was suggestive of a carcinoid valvular disease. The abdominal CAT scan showed a small bowel tumor. Urinary 5-hydroxy-indol- acetic acid values were highly elevated. The patient was subjected to excision of the distal ileum, liver metastasectomy and hemicolectomy. The pathological study of the surgical piece confirmed the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor. Two years after surgery, the patient is in stable conditions.
