  • Online:2013-02-20 Published:2013-02-20

Abstract: Ovarian carcinoid tumor is a very rare, low-grade malignant tumor, and most of the patients have no typical clinical
symptoms. Some patients seek medical attention for pelvic masses often found incidentally, and about one-third of the patients
may present with carcinoid syndrome. We report a case of ovarian carcinoid tumor clinically manifested by intractable
constipation, which is a rare condition in these patients.
