Brief Answer:
Yes, carcinoid tumours can cause flushing, abdominal pain and Itching
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Abdominal pain, flushing and Itching can be seen in carcinoid tumour. It is tumour secreting serotonin hormone and this can cause all the symptoms.
But honestly speaking, incidence of this is very rare.
But if you really want to rule out this then CT scan of abdomen is needed.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
