Se han reportado tumores carcinoides en una amplia variedad de órganos, pero el lugar de detección más frecuente ha sido el tracto gastrointestinal. Muchos de estos tumores carcinoides se hallan asociados con lesiones metacrónicas y sincrónicas de otro tipo histológico. La presencia de tumores carcinoides primarios de un órgano diferente en el mismo paciente es rara. En este trabajo, los autores presentan un caso con tumores carcinoides sincrónicos del intestino delgado y el apéndice en el mismo paciente.
