چکیده
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 emphasized with regard to the 5-year-survival of 73%.

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 b...
متن کاملGoblet Cell Carcinoid Tumors of the Appendix: A Report of Two Cases, Review of a Rare Clinical Entity, and Guidelines for Treatment
Goblet cell carcinoid tumor is a rare clinical entity which is usually diagnosed either as acute appendicitis or advanced cancer. Its main characteristic is that the histological findings are between those of adenocarcinoma and typical carcinoid tumor of the appendix. Goblet cell carcinoid tumors appear almost exclusively in the appendix, and prognosis depends mainly on the stage and the subtyp...
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 ...
