Two case-reports of metastatic bone disease in patients with bronchial carcinoid tumors illustrate the diagnostic challenges raised by these slowly-growing malignancies of which the primary frequently escapes early identification. The first patient had the typical picture of a primary with a single bone metastasis. Unusual features in the second patient were the large number of bone metastases, involvement of distal skeletal sites, and elevation of serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
