Carcinoid tumor of the sacrum: case report.
Publication/Presentation Date
12-1-1994
Abstract
We present a case of isolated carcinoid tumor of the sacrum and highlight the unusual nature of this lesion. The histopathology suggests hindgut cause, and we discuss the possibility of an underlying congenital tailgut cyst. We review the pathology of these rare anomalies with reference to embryological development and known instances of carcinoid focus. We also present previous reports of sacral carcinoid.
