Serotonin-secreting (carcinoid) tumors of the pancreas are very rare. There are only 13 cases reported since 1963. Liver metastases have not previously been described. We present two patients with primary carcinoid tumor of the pancreas, which metastasized to the liver. These patients differ in their clinical and radiological appearance. Carcinoid tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pancreatic mass in a patient with carcinoid syndrome, but lack of this syndrome does not exclude the diagnosis.
胰腺分泌血清素的(类癌)肿瘤非常罕见。自1963年以来仅有13例报告。此前尚未描述过肝转移情况。我们报告两例原发性胰腺类癌肿瘤转移至肝脏的患者。这两名患者在临床和影像学表现上有所不同。类癌综合征患者出现胰腺肿块时,鉴别诊断应考虑类癌肿瘤,但无此综合征并不能排除诊断。
