Carcinoid tumour of soft tissue: Primary or metastasis?

Subcutaneous neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare and usually metastatic from deep visceras. However, occasionally a primary carcinoid of soft tissue may be encountered which can be easily diagnosed on cytology. The primary site can be confirmed after exclusion of NET from the deep viscera after extensive radiologic investigation.
