Summary The intra‐operative course of a patient found to have a metastatic serotonin‐secreting carcinoid tumour in the orbit is reported. No prophylactic or intra‐operative therapy was necessary during the administration of enflurane anesthesia. This case demonstrates again the wide spectrum of clinical responses observed among patients with this disease.
