In 1937, however, Zamora and Schuster1 mentioned the first case of metastasis from a bronchial adenoma. A correlation between malignant carcinoid tumors of the small intestine and a bizarre syndrome, subsequently called "carcinoid syndrome," was emphasized by Thorson et al.2 in 1954.In 1956 MacDonald3reviewed 57 cases of carcinoid syndrome with the primary tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. In the same year, Mattingly4in a thorough review of the literature described the functioning carcinoid tumor. Through 1959 a total of at least...Bibliography1.
