Carcinoid occurs as possibly malignant tumour that occurs in the mucosa of the lungs and digestive tract and potentially inside more organs. Typically, it stimulates illness due to its secretion of neurohormones, causing diarrhoea, flushing and heart disease, when well as more phenomena (like Cushing's disease); occasionally, haemorrhage and a mass effect are the presenting symptoms. Coarse of action is ab initio by owning surgery, and by owning chemotherapy if the tumor has spread.
