Postgrad Med J. 1995 Feb;71(832):102-3. doi: 10.1136/pgmj.71.832.102.

Abstract

We report a 31-year-old Chinese man with bronchial carcinoid tumour and bilateral phaeochromocytoma. His sister also gave a history of bilateral carotid body paraganglioma. This case demonstrates the importance of screening for other endocrine disorders in patients with foregut carcinoid tumours.
