Abstract

Carcinoid tumors have been described in almost every organ and may affect virtually every body system. Cardiac involvement manifesting as right-sided valvular disease is characteristic of the carcinoid syndrome; however, direct myocardial involvement is unusual. We present a case of an invasive carcinoid tumor whose primary manifestation was myocardial invasion.
