In a patient with malignant carcinoid syndrome with metastasis to the liver, cardiac lesions, pulmonary hypertension, pellagra-like skin lesions and depression developed. Her disability progressed despite medical therapy and two courses of chemotherapy. The primary tumour had been resected but the metastatic mass in the liver could not be resected because of its anatomic position. The dramatic improvement after hepatic artery ligation was correlated with urinary 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid excretion.
一名患有恶性类癌综合征且已发生肝转移的患者，出现了心脏病变、肺动脉高压、糙皮病样皮肤病变和抑郁症状。尽管接受了药物治疗和两个疗程的化疗，她的残疾状况仍在进展。原发肿瘤已被切除，但由于肝脏转移瘤的解剖位置，无法将其切除。肝动脉结扎术后的显著改善与尿中5-羟吲哚乙酸排泄量相关。
