[Goblet cell carcinoid in the vermiform appendix].
The goblet-cell-carcinoid of the appendix vermiformis lies somewhat between the carcinoid and the adenocarcinoma of the appendix concerning the biological behaviour and the histological characteristics. Referring an own well documented case (76 are well known in the available literature) the importance of the very conscientiously managed histological examination of each appendix specimen is emp...
متن کاملMucin producing carcinoid tumours of the vermiform appendix.
Six cases of an unusual mucoid variant of carcinoid tumour of the appendix are reported. These lesions are small, detected incidentally, and carry a good prognosis. Their histological features are distinctive and differ from those of ordinary carcinoid tumours and adenocarcinoma. They have been confused with adenocarcinoma, sometimes resulting in radical surgery. Surgery beyond appendicectomy i...
متن کاملSecondary Torsion of Vermiform Appendix with Mucinous Cystadenoma
Torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare disorder, which causes abdominal symptoms indistinguishable from acute appendicitis. We report a case (a 34-year-old male) of secondary torsion of the vermiform appendix with mucinous cystadenoma. This case was characterized by mild inflammatory responses, pentazocine-resistant abdominal pain, and appendiceal tumor, which was not enhanced by the contr...
متن کاملCombined goblet cell carcinoid and mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.
Two cases of combined goblet cell carcinoid and mucinous cystadenoma occurring in the appendix are reported. The histogenesis of the goblet cell carcinoid remains one of its most controversial aspects and the occurrence of both of these relatively uncommon tumours in the same organ may lend support to the unitary stem cell hypothesis on the origin of this tumour. Alternatively, this occurrence ...
متن کاملA Carcinoid Tumor of the Appendix in a Child: A Case Report
The appendix is one of the most common sites for carcinoid tumors. Most carcinoids are found in appendices removed incidentally at laparotomy for conditions unrelated to acute appendicitis. We describe the case of a 13-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant (RLQ), with nausea and decreased appetite for the previous 2 days. A physical examination favoreda d...
