: Carcinoid heart disease is characterized by pulmonic and/or tricuspid valvular dysfunction and is the most common cardiac manifestation of carcinoid syndrome. We present an unusual cardiac manifestation of a rare entity carcinoid metastasis to the heart, without carcinoid heart disease. This rare case of carcinoid metastasis in the interventricular septum illustrates the utility of cardiac MRI in delineating the extent and tissue characteristics of the tumour, and its complementary role to nuclear scan.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

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.
