They were not associated to high or low blood pressure, headache, diarrhea, or bronchospasm, but patient reported palpitations during them.[elsevier.es]
This may be counterintuitive as the body loses bicarbonate during diarrhea, but if the diarrhea is chronic there are other mechanisms in the body.[lecturio.com]
Diarrhea. The diarrhea of carcinoid syndrome does not necessarily correlate with flushing. Diarrhea appears to be related to increased gut motility, rather than to secretion of fluids.[aboutcancer.com]
Potential causes of flushing in carcinoid syndrome include bradykinins, prostaglandins, tachykinins, substance P, and/or histamine, diarrhea, and heart problems.[en.wikipedia.org]
This causes chronicdiarrhea and concomitant dehydration, metabolic alkalosis, and elevated bicarbonate.[lecturio.com]
For example, carcinoid tumors in the rectum and colon are incidentally found during colonoscopy performed for colon cancer screening, for iron deficiency anemia, or for chronicdiarrhea.[medicinenet.com]
The occurrence of episodic facial flushing and/or chronicdiarrhea not diagnosed by standard tests as being a result of more common causes should lead to suspicion of carcinoid syndrome.[rarediseases.org]

In these rare cases (only about five percent of all carcinoid tumor cases), the tumor can cause unusually high amounts of hormones in the blood. 4 This situation, called carcinoid syndrome, could result in symptoms such as: flushing heart palpitations[stopcancerfund.org]
Other features include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, palpitations, hypotension and wheezing.[patient.info]

[…] of approximately 8 cases per 100,000 population. 1 Only 1–2% of these tumors originate in ovarian tissue, 2 where they often seat, as in the reported case, on a cystic teratoma or dermoid tumor. 3 According to some studies, this confers them a better prognosis[elsevier.es]
Prognosis The prognosis varies, depending on the location of the tumor and whether or not the tumor has metastasized. If the tumor is caught early, it can be surgically removed and cured.[lahey.org]
My onocolgist says it is a much better prognosis than if it was a typical ovarian cancer, but at the same time he says I don't want to hear my name in the same sentence with the word cancer.[csn.cancer.org]
In general, ovarian carcinoid tumors are slow growing, and have a good prognosis, but some cases of metastasis or recurrence have been reported. Therefore, these borderline tumors require careful evaluation[jstage.jst.go.jp]
