These tumors are discovered either incidentally in the event of investigating non-specific digestive disorders notably in patients with Konig's syndrome. Diagnosis is confirmed through histopathology complemented with immunohistochemistry. Surgery is the only curative treatment and it is indicated upon decision by a multidisciplinary treatment team. We report a case of a 65-year-old woman with carcinoid tumor of the ileum. ÖzKarsinoid tümörler adenokarsinom sonrası ince bağırsağın ikinci en yaygın tümörleridir. Bu tümörler, özellikle Konig sendromlu hastalarda spesifik olmayan sindirim bozukluklarını araştırırken tesadüfen keşfedilmiştir. Tanı immünohistokimya ile tamamlanan histopatoloji ile doğrulanır. Cerrahi tek küratif tedavidir ve çok disiplinli bir tedavi ekibinin kararıyla belirtilir. Biz ileumun karsinoid tümörü olan 65 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunuyoruz.
