【 摘 要 】

The gastrointestinal tract is the largest neuroendocrine system in the body. Carcinoid tumours are the commonest neuroendocrine tumours that arise from enterochromaffin cells throughout the gut. These tumours secrete bioactive substances producing characteristic immunohistochemical and clinical patterns.
