Goblet Cell Carcinoid

چکیده
Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a unique type of mixed endocrine-exocrine neoplasm, almost exclusively seen in the appendix. Historically, it has been variably termed as adenocarcinoid, mucinous carcinoid, microglandular carcinoma, amphicrine neoplasm, mucin-producing neuroendocrine tumor or carcinoma, and crypt cell carcinoma. GCC is the preferred term in the current literature, but this remains debatable. Extraappendiceal GCC is exceedingly rare and has been reported to occur in the stomach, small bowel and colon [1]. This tumor was first described by Gagne and colleagues in 1969 and the name of GCC was coined by Subbuswamy and colleagues in 1974.

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...

Goblet cell carcinoid tumours are often considered a subset of appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours which behave more aggressively. They usually metastasize through transcoelomic/peritoneal invasion and common sites include the ovaries, peritoneum, and liver. Metastases may have goblet cell carcinoid, signet ring cell carcinoma or classic carcinoid histology. We report the first case in the liter...

متن کاملAdenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid in a renal transplant patient: a case report and review of the literature.
Adenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid is a rare neoplasm of appendiceal origin that contains features of both carcinoid tumor and adenocarcinoma. We report on a case of a 45-year-old woman, post-renal transplant who presented with ovarian metastases from this tumor. This appears to be the first report of an adenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid in a renal transplant recipient.
متن کاملAdenocarcinoma Ex Goblet Cell Carcinoid of Appendix: Two Case Reports
Adenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid is a rare tumor incidentally found in specimens of appendicitis. Most patients present with acute abdomen, similar to acute appendicitis. Here we present two cases, which were found incidentally after operation. We give a brief summary about clinical and biological behavior of this entity.
