Abstract
Carcinoid tumors are malignant neuroendocrine tumors arising from Kulchitsky cell. The most common site of primary carcinoid tumors is gastrointestinal tract (64%) followed by respiratory tract (28%). Carcinoid tumors metastasize to the liver in approximately 5%–10% of cases. Up to 20% of patients with carcinoid syndrome present with carcinoid heart disease at diagnosis, which leads to features of right heart failure. In this case, we highlight the importance of echocardiography in patients presenting with a triad of jaundice, pulsatile hepatomegaly, and raised jugular venous pressure.
