Because the venous drainage of the ovary bypasses the portal circulation, carcinoid heart disease in patients with primary ovarian carcinoid tumors may develop in the absence of liver metastasis. We describe 4 patients who presented with symptomatic carcinoid heart disease in association with primary ovarian carcinoid tumor.
