Abstract

Two family groups with familial carcinoid tumours with metastases are presented. These are the fourth and fifth family groups to be reported which do not occur within the setting of the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome. Relatives of patients with carcinoid tumours having persistent vague abdominal pain or gastrointestinal symptoms should be investigated.
