Although rare, carcinoid tumors may present as thyroid metastatic nodules. We describe two patients with an undiagnosed bronchial carcinoid tumor, who presented as a thyroid nodule. Pathological examination of these nodules was diagnostic. Chemotherapy was indicated despite the dissemination of the tumors. The patients have an excellent quality of life. They are asymptomatic and alive, 18 and 24 months after diagnosis, respectively. In one case, chemotherapy obtained an important reduction in the size of the tumoral lesions but the other case showed no regression. Octreotide (SMS 201-995) was used in the case with carcinoid syndrome, with an excellent response.

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.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D005047 Etoposide A semisynthetic derivative of PODOPHYLLOTOXIN that exhibits antitumor activity. Etoposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent entry into the mitotic phase of cell division, and lead to cell death. Etoposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle.
