Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 48
Abstract
A female aged 42 years, presented with acute lower abdominal pain to the surgical OPD. Imaging studies showed only a fibroid uterus. Intraoperative findings showed a swollen appendix and appendicectomy procedure was performed along with hysterectomy. The specimens of resected appendix, uterus and cervix were received in the Department of Histopathology at Elbit Laboratories. Gross finding showed a yellowish solid lesion measuring 2 x 1 cms involving the tip and mid part of appendix. Microscopy showed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasm (low grade) involving tip, mid part and small part of the base. Immunohistochemistry studies using chromogranin and Ki67 markers confirmed the diagnosis. Histological findings in uterus and cervix confirmed the presence of leiomyoma. Patient presented for routine post-operative checkup 2 months later and radiological findings postoperatively showed an ill-defined soft tissue lesion with nodular calcification seen anterior to ascending colon.
