RESUMEN

Carcinoid tumors are uncommon tumors of the neuroendocrine system. They grow slowly and may remain silent for years before presenting with carcinoid syndrome. A diagnosis of asymptomatic carcinoid tumor is difficult. Wide resection of the primary tumor and metastatic lesions is the first choice of treatment. Primary carcinoid is sometimes distributed throughout the entire body, but it is rare in the spleen. We herein present a rare case of a symptomless carcinoid tumor that predominantly invaded the spleen with liver metastasis.
