Abstract
Primary ovarian carcinoid is a relatively rare disease with an indolent course and excellent outcome. Carcinoid syndrome, especially carcinoid heart disease may worsen the prognosis. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has been commonly used as the treatment of choice of primary ovarian carcinoid tumors.
