Primary carcinoid tumors of the skin are exceptional, with only ten cases reported from 1975 to date. We describe a case of a 66-year-old woman with a primary cutaneous carcinoid developed on the scalp. The tumor was completely excised and clinical investigations as well as diagnostic studies failed to reveal internal primary site, neither at the time of the excision, neither during follow-up. Nevertheless, 7 years after the surgical excision, she developed a recurrence of the lesion on the same site. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a primary relapsing carcinoid of the skin described up to now. Interestingly, the tumour expresses estroprogestinic receptors.
原发性皮肤类癌肿瘤极为罕见，自1975年至今仅报告过10例。我们描述了一例66岁女性，其头皮上发生了原发性皮肤类癌。肿瘤被完整切除，临床检查及诊断性研究在切除时及随访期间均未发现体内原发部位。然而，手术切除7年后，她在同一部位出现了病变复发。据我们所知，这是迄今为止首例关于原发性复发性皮肤类癌的报告。有趣的是，该肿瘤表达雌激素孕激素受体。
