These endocrine tumors have characteristic clinicopathological features with majority elaborating serotonin, present at an advanced age, and are frequently associated with carcinoid syndrome. We report an autopsy case of low-grade (G1) midgut carcinoid tumor presenting as carcinoid syndrome in a 64-year-old patient who presented with abdominal distension, diarrhea, body pain, and vomiting. Autopsy findings show a yellow tan tumor in the distal ileum measuring 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.1 cm. Histology shows tumor to be carcinoid and strongly positive for immunohistochemical markers chromogranin and cytokeratin and negative for S-100 protein.
