Carcinoid syndrome | Is a | True | Serotonin level above reference range | Inferred relationship | Some | |
A rare functioning neuroendocrine tumour of pancreas characterised by a typically well-differentiated neoplasm composed of cells expressing serotonin. Patients may present with atypical carcinoid syndrome with abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, and/or flushing. Carcinoid syndrome is usually present only when there are liver metastases. The tumours tend to be larger than non-functioning tumours and are associated with a poorer prognosis because they are almost always metastatic. | Is a | True | Serotonin level above reference range | Inferred relationship | Some | |
