We determined the content of serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) in the tumors and urine of 12 patients with carcinoid tumors of midgut origin and 14 patients with carcinoid tumors of foregut origin. All of the midgut carcinoid tumors had a higher DA content than the foregut carcinoid tumors. Three of the patients with carcinoid tumors of midgut origin had increased excretion of DA or homovanillic acid (HVA) in their urine; all of the patients with carcinoid tumors of foregut origin had normal excretion of DA or HVA. We conclude that midgut carcinoid tumors usually contain more DA than foregut carcinoid tumors.
