We present the case of a patient with a Vater's papilla carcinoid tumor treated with total duodenopancreatectomy followed by re-gastrectomy because of a second localization of the tumor in the gastrojejunal anastomoses. The patient remains asymptomatic after 3 years and 6 months survival. Digestive carcinoid tumors are described, analyzing their physiopathologic, clinical and prognostic aspects, having done a bibliographic revision of the item.
