Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are rarely associated with symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome, such as flushing and diarrhea. When present, these symptoms virtually always represent extensive hepatic metastases. In this article we describe the presentation, perioperative management, and presumed mechanisms of a patient with a localized pulmonary carcinoid with associated chronic diarrhea that resolved after operation.
