[Ovarian carcinoid tumor responsible of permanent facial erythrosis and flushings during sexual intercourse].

CONCLUSION: A carcinoid syndrome is naturally evoked in the presence of flushes but it must also be part of the differential diagnosis in a patient with facial erythrosis or telangiectasias, especially if they are associated with diarrhea or right heart failure. The prognosis of carcinoid heart disease is considerably better in case of ovarian location than when it is a primitive carcinoid tumor of lung or from gastrointestinal tract.
