Acute limb ischemia from sudden thrombosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report.

abstract：:Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine malignancies that typically originate from the gastrointestinal tract. Patients who are diagnosed with carcinoid heart disease generally have poor prognoses because of advanced metastases during staging and few therapeutic options. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman wit...
