Primary insular carcinoid tumor of the ovary is a rare tumor and accounts for fewer than 1% of all cases of carcinoid in the body. With the exception of a single reported case, all previously described functioning ovarian carcinoid tumors have measured at least 10 cm in diameter. Thus, there appears to be a good correlation between the size of the tumor and the presence of the carcinoid syndrome.
We describe a case of a functioning primary insular carcinoid tumor of the ovary measuring just 6 cm in maximal diameter.
Although primary ovarian carcinoid tumor is very rare, a high clinical index of suspicion must be maintained, especially in a patient presenting with carcinoid syndrome and a small adnexal mass.
原发性卵巢岛状类癌肿瘤是一种罕见肿瘤，占全身所有类癌病例的比例不到1%。除了一例报告病例外，所有先前描述的功能性卵巢类癌肿瘤直径均至少为10厘米。因此，肿瘤大小与类癌综合征的存在之间似乎存在良好的相关性。
我们描述了一例最大直径仅6厘米的功能性原发性卵巢岛状类癌肿瘤病例。
虽然原发性卵巢类癌肿瘤非常罕见，但必须保持高度的临床怀疑指数，尤其是对于出现类癌综合征和附件小肿块的患者。
