ABSTRACT

We present a case of metastatic carcinoid tumor metastatic to the heart, presenting as ventricular arrhythmia and diagnosed ¹¹¹In-pentetreotide scintiscan despite negative endocardial biopsy. The incidence and diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease is discussed, as well as the complementary role of high-resolution anatomical images (CT, MRI) with functional images (SPECT, PET) to determine the correct diagnosis of this rare condition.

Key Words: carcinoid tumor • indium-111-pentetreotide • heart
