A primary hepatic carcinoid tumor (PHCT) is an uncommonfinding. There are few reports of primary hepatic carcinoidtumors,and less confirmed with a complete autopsy. From March ¿2000 to April 2001 we found 3 cases of PHCTin terminal phase with an atypical histologic pattern Eachcase was positive to a wide variety of inmuno histochemical markers . All of them were confirmed by an autopsy.The-se neoplasies can be detected by reliable diagnostic tools such as the urinary excretion of 5 OH indolacetic acids.
