Abstract

In this report a rare case of a bleeding carcinoid located in the ileum and diagnosed with an angio-CT examination of the abdominal cavity is presented. An angio-CT examination of the abdominal cavity may be an effective method of imaging diagnostics in cases of negative results of endoscopy and colonoscopy examinations and, at the same time, a shortage of accessibility to double-balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy. It is possible to visualize bleeding lesions on condition that the outflow of the blood into the digestive tract is above 1 ml per minute. The patient concerned was operated on in a scheduled course following proper preparation. The perioperative course was uneventful and after a three-year follow-up no features of the recurrence of neoplastic disease have been observed.
