In this paper the authors report a case of carcinoid neoplasm in a rare localization like sigmoid colon. They describe the clinical and biological aspects of this kind of tumors, with particular regard to the tumor site and its biochemical products. A rational and prompt clinical approach to this neoplasm is considered important for the good chance of long survivals, achievable in the case of early diagnosis.
