Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine neoplasms that originate from enterochromaffin cells. The incidence of the disease is 1 per 100,000 per year. Carcinoid tumors usually metastasize to the liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. In recent studies, the rate of bone metastasis was determined to be around 10%. In this case study, we report that a patient's complaints of back pain, difficulty walking, and spinal metastasis that had been detected were related to carcinoid tumors.
