Abstract

Ovarian carcinoid syndrome is a rare entity in which vasoactive substances (serotonin) reach the right heart without hepatic inactivation. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman referred for evaluation of right heart failure. Echocardiography revealed massive tricuspid regurgitation (TR) due to bivalvular restriction, pathognomonic of carcinoid involvement. Further investigations revealed a left ovarian mass measuring 85 x 55 mm, classified as ORADS 5. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists and gynecological oncologists.
