In this report we present the history of a patient with symptomatic carcinoid syndrome. During flushing he suffered from variant angina. The observation of coronary spasm due to excess 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is discussed with regard to the discharge of 5-HT from clotting platelets in the coronary arteries.
