Clinical characteristics and survival outcomes in patients with primary ovarian carcinoid: A historical cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Primary ovarian carcinoids are extremely rare ovarian tumors, and there is limited data available on their clinical characteristics and survival outcomes.

Material and methods

We conducted a historical cohort study of 56 patients to investigate their clinical characteristics. The overall survival, disease-specific survival, recurrence-free survival, and potential prognostic factors of these patients were also evaluated.

Results

The median age of these patients was 42.0 years (range: 20-71). The average mass and carcinoid size was 7.3 and 0.4 cm, respectively. Elevated tumor marker levels and ascites were observed in 15 and 10 patients, respectively. In 98.2% of the patients, tumors were confined to the ovary, while only one had metastatic disease.
