Abstract
We report a case of right ovarian strumal carcinoid tumor responsible for t ricuspid regurgitation. Valve replacement and salpingo-oophorectomy were pe rformed. Serotonin level and tomodensitometry were normal at 3-year follow- up. Rarity of strumal carcinoid tumor explains why this tumor has never bee n reported with carcinoid heart disease before.
