Goblet cell carcinoid of the appendix

چکیده
been identified in appendiceal carcinoids: the argentaffin-positive carcinoid, the nonargentaffin carcinoid, and the mucinous, goblet cell carcinoid. Therapy for carcinoids in the first 2 classes traditionally depends on tumour size and location with respect to the base of the appendix. The third type is rarer and behaves more aggressively, hence the literature suggests that management should be more aggressive. We discuss, through the use of a case report, the management of goblet cell carcinoid of the 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...

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 ...

Neuroendocrine neoplasms are the most common epithelial tumors among appendix tumors. Appendix tumors that are completely or partially composed of neuroendocrine cells are divided into two categories: Classic carcinoid tumors and goblet cell carcinoid tumors (GCCT). They are known to progress more aggressively than classic (neuro) endocrine tumors. In this study, three cases with acute appendic...
