Carcinoid tumors arise from the gastrointestinal tract or the bronchial tree, and tumors of either origin produce symptoms locally or secrete amines that produce a carcinoid syndrome systemically. Metastatic carcinoid tumors to the orbit are rare and, thus, present a special problem in diagnosis and treatment. We describe a case of metastatic orbital carcinoid that presented itself 6 years prior to the discovery of the primary ileal lesion. This case report describes the unusual presentation, reviews previously published data, and addresses controversial opinions regarding therapy.
类癌肿瘤起源于胃肠道或支气管树，无论起源何处，肿瘤都会在局部产生症状或分泌胺类物质，从而引发全身性类癌综合征。眼眶转移性类癌肿瘤较为罕见，因此在诊断和治疗方面存在特殊问题。我们报告一例转移性眼眶类癌病例，该病例在原发性回肠病变被发现前6年就已出现。本病例报告描述了其不寻常的表现，回顾了此前发表的数据，并探讨了有关治疗的争议性观点。
