ABSTRACT
Carcinoid tumours are neuroendocrine neoplasms that can appear in every location of the digestive tract. They are low aggressive tumours, although they often produce local invasion and hepatic metastases, whose resection allows long-term survival. We report a case of a 64-year-old man with ileal carcinoid tumour, that underwent ileal resection and metastasectomy of one lesion in liver segment II. Surgical findings indicated peritoneal carcinomatosis. Carcinoid dissemination as peritoneal carcinomatosis has been rarely described in the literature. Cytoreductive surgery, always when complete resection is aimed, achieves asymptomatic long-term survivals (AU)
