Abstract

The patient was a 37-year-old female with a chief complaint of diarrhea. Endoscopic examination revealed one minute-carcinoid in the rectum. On endoscopic resection, another minute-carcinoid was detected in its vicinity, and both lesions were resected completely under endoscopy. Multiple rectal carcinoids are a rare disease, with only 10 cases having been reported in Japan including the present case. The lesions could be resected by endoscopic operation in only 2 cases including ours. Multiple rectal carcinoids are often complicated with malignant tumors (50%), and careful follow-up is considered to be needed.
