Popis: Neuroendocrine lung tumors are rare neoplasms, with an increasing incidence in the last thirty years. Metastatic disease is rarely curable. We present the case of a 65-year-old male patient with atypical functional carcinoid of the lung and synchronous liver metastases beginning with carcinoid syndrome treated with somatostatin analogues, chemotherapy and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, with a good clinical response and remission of the carcinoid syndrome.
