A case of scleroderma in a woman with carcinoid syndrome is described and the similarities between our case and those in the literature are reviewed. The carcinoid tumours were all of midgut origin and liver metastases were present. All subsequently developed fibrotic heart disease and none had clinical features or autoantibodies suggestive of systemic sclerosis. The association between carcinoid syndrome and particular features of scleroderma is likely to be more than fortuitous.
本文描述了一例患有类癌综合征的女性硬皮病病例，并回顾了我们的病例与文献中病例的相似之处。类癌肿瘤均起源于中肠且存在肝转移。所有患者随后均发展为纤维化性心脏病，且无一具有提示系统性硬化症的临床特征或自身抗体。类癌综合征与硬皮病的特定特征之间的关联可能并非偶然。
