“…Rectal Carcinoids. Nodules greater than 2 cm in diameter are notoriously known to exhibit signs of local extension at the time of surgery [35,40,41]. They repre-sent about 10% of the GI carcinoids, with the peak incidence in the middle age years.…”

This paper is based on a retrospective analysis of the radiographic findings in 18 new proven cases of carcinoids of the gastrointestinal tract. Examples of lesions involving different segments together with a detailed review of the pertinent literature are provided. Background information regarding the malignant potential of all carcinoids with particular reference to invasiveness, size, site, and symptomatology is discussed. Depending on the time of the examination during their development, carcinoids present either as smoothly defined, mostly small intramural nodules, or as large infiltrating and ulcerating malignant looking tumors. When mesenteric infiltration is present, a more specific combination of findings composed of submucosal nodules, separation of loops, and localized kinking may be seen. The demonstration of an isolated, sharply contoured defect does not exclude malignancy. The less common radiographic manifestations of tumoral calcifications and bony metastases are reviewed and illustrated.

“…It has been reported that metastasis is unlikely from carcinoid tumours of less than 1 cm diameter, while those that usually metastasise are greater than 2cm [12,13]. Considering site alone, ileal carcinoid tumours show the highest frequency of metastasis.…”

Radiographs of 12 carcinoid tumors of the rectum were reviewed and compared with pathologic findings. There was a good correlation between the radiologic and pathologic findings with respect to tumor invasion and extent. Nine tumors that radiologically presented a smooth round defect less than 2.0 cm in diameter did not invade the muscular layer and did not metastasize. Three tumors that presented a deep crater with an irregular edge greater than 2.0 cm were found to have invaded the muscular layer and metastasized to the lymph nodes or the liver. The double-contrast enema showed an excellent detection rate; no lesion was missed by it.
