Objective:To explore the genesis

clinicopathological features

treatment and prognostic of primary ovarian carcinoid.Methods: Two primary ovarian carcinoid cases treated in our hospital are reported and analyzed in terms of clinicopathology.Results: Case 1 was a 40-year-old woman and case 2 was a 33-year-old woman.Both of them

with hypogastralgia as main complaint

had no other clinical complications.Surgeries were performed on both cases.The histological type of these two cases was insular type.Case 1 was staged as Ⅰa and case 2 staged as Ⅲc according to postoperative pathology.Case 1 received no postoperative therapy

and had kept alive with no evidence of tumour for 9 years.Case 2 received additional chemotherapy and ended up with death 6 months after operation.Conclusion: Upon literature review

primary ovarian carcinoid is an extremely rare ovarian tumor with low potential of malignancy.It has no typical clinical symptoms and should be differentiated from metastatic ovarian carcinoid.Surgery is the most proper treatment for primary ovarian carcinoid of early stage.A case of advanced stage has a bad prognosis and chemotherapy is inefficient.
