Abstract

Carcinoid tumors are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and are rarely seen in the presacral/ sacrococcygeal region. Moreover, such tumors at these sites are usually silent without associated carcinoid syndrome even if the tumor has metastasized. These tumors may arise in tailgut cysts or teratomas thereby suggesting their congenital origin.
