¨Os tumores carcinóides são derivados das células enterocromafínicas capazes de produzir grande variedade de mediadores neuroendócrinos incluindo a serotonina. A síndrome carcinóide ocorre quando esses mediadores, que são normalmente metabolizados pelo fígado, estão presentes na circulação sistêmica. Isso se deve à ocorrência de metástases hepáticas ou tumores extra-abdominais, ou quando são tumores grandes e/ou múltiplos que produzem um nível de mediadores que ultrapassa a capacidade de metabolização hepática. A síndrome carcinóide só ocorre em menos de 10% dos pacientes com tumores carcinóides. Os tumores carcinóides são mais prevalentes na quinta ou sexta décadas de vida, acometendo mais as mulheres (55%) do que os homens. Os tumores carcinóides são classificados de acordo com o local de origem. O local de origem mais freqüente é o trato gastrointestinal (cerca de 74%) seguido do trato broncopulmonar (25%). Estima-se que cerca de 75% dos doentes com tumor carcinóide desenvolvam metástases hepáticas, independentemente do local de origem. Os tumores carcinóides do intestino delgado e dos brônquios apresentam uma evolução mais maligna do que os tumores de outros locais. Os pacientes que apresentam tumores carcinóides gastrointestinais só apresentam a síndrome carcinóide se desenolverem metástases hepáticas. Os tumores carcinóides brônquicos e outros tumores carcinóides extra-intestinais podem causar a síndrome carcinóide mesmo que não haja doença metastática. O diagnóstico clínico é baseado nos sintomas de flushing e diarréia. As principais manifestações da síndrome carcinóide também incluem sudorese, sibilos, dor abdomina e fibrose cardíaca. As manifestações cutâneas relatadas são: flushing, pelagra, quadro esclerodermiforme, telangectasias e metástases cutâneas. O flushing ocorre em quase todos os casos (90%) e geralmente é restrito às regiões de face, pescoço e tronco superior. A cardiopatia carcinóide pode ser encontrada em até 60% dos pacientes com tumores carcinóides metastáticos. Consiste em depósitos de tecido fibroso no endocárdio, nos folhetos valvares, nos átrios e nos ventrículos. A valvopatia cardíaca é a manifestação histopatológica mais freqüente, com lesão da valva tricúspide (regurgitação tricúspide) sendo encontrada em 97% dos pacientes e lesão da valva pulmonar (estenose pulmonar) sendo encontrada em 88% dos pacientes. As manifestações são as de valvopatia cardíaca direita e incluem edema periférico, ascite e hepatomegalia pulsátil. A cromogranina-A é um marcador bioquímico tumoral inespecífico de tumores carcinóides e o aumento da excreção urinária de ácido 5-hidroxiindolacético (5-HIAA), um marcador específico para a síndrome carcinóide (o exame inicial mais útil para fazer o diagnóstico de síndrome carcinóide). Estudos de localização nos tumores/síndrome carcinóide são: ultrassonografia (US) abdominal, endoscopia, US endoscópica, endoscopia com vídeo-cápsula, tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética, angiografia abdominal seletiva, cintilografia com 111In-pentetreotide (e sonda radioisotópica intraoperatória), cintilografia com 123I (131I) -metaiodobenzilguanidina (MIBG), cintilografia óssea e tomografia por emissão de pósitron (11C-5-HT). Tratamento para tumores/síndrome carcinóide são: cirurgia, análogos de somatostatina, interferon-alfa, radioterapia, embolização arterial hepática, quimioembolização hepática, escleroterapia alcoólica de metástases hepáticas (MH), ablação por radiofreqüência de MH, criocirurgia de MH, ocasionalmente transplante hepático, radioterapia associada a análogos de somatostatina, 131I-MIBG e ocasionalmente quimioterapia. Atualmente, a remoção cirúrgica do tumor carcinóide localizado consiste na primeira escolha terapêutica, tanto com finalidade curativa como paliativa. O tratamento clínico com análogos da somatostatina, por sua vez, representou um avanço no cuidado paliativo desses doentes.¨
