An umbilical nodule may be an early or late sign of metastasis from an internal location. To our knowledge, we are reporting the first case of carcinoid occuring as an umbilical mass. The occurrence in our patient of idiopathic hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and carcinoid suggests the diagnosis of multiple endocrine adenomatosis, type I, which may result from a developmental defect in the amine and amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cell system.
脐部结节可能是体内转移的早期或晚期征象。据我们所知，我们报告了首例以脐部肿物形式出现的类癌病例。我们的患者同时患有特发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症、糖尿病和类癌，提示诊断为I型多发性内分泌腺瘤病，这可能是由于胺及胺前体摄取和脱羧细胞系统的发育缺陷所致。
