Diagnosis and treatment of lymph node metastases of a rectal carcinoid tumor using In111-octreotide-scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe detection.
Carcinoids represent 1-2% of the rectal cancer. We report the case of a woman with a rectal carcinoid and a hypogastric node metastasis. We propose a less invasive treatment of the metastase using In11-octreotide-scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma-probe detector.
