Abstract EN
Objectives : This study aims at reporting 2 cases of primary ovarian carcinoid tumor, and providing an adequate registry of such cases and how they were managed.
Methods : 2 female patients with primary ovarian carcinoid were diagnosed and treated in our center.
Discussion of their presentation, pathology and treatment is entitled.
Also a thorough search of all published registries and case reports of ovarian carcinoid was done with analysis of reported data.
Results : 164 cases of primary ovarian carcinoid tumor were detected since 2005 with the predominance of the insular variant.
Carcinoid syndrome occurs in nearly 14 % of these cases.
Most of the cases were treated with hysterectomy.
Unfortunately, the prognosis was not documented in most series.
Conclusion : Primary ovarian carcinoid is a relatively rare disease with an indolent course and excellent outcome.
Carcinoid syndrome, especially carcinoid heart disease may worsen the prognosis.
Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has been commonly used as the treatment of choice of primary ovarian carcinoid tumors.
