Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Carcinoid tumors of the appendix are usually asymptomatic. Hence, typically, it is just an incidentally encountered pathology following an appendectomy. However, carcinoid tumors are quite rare incidents in clinical practice (1, 2). Although it can affect any age, this type of neoplasm presents in adolescents more than any other age group (1). Here we report the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with clinical features suggestive of acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendectomy was carried-out. Subsequently, the patient recovered uneventfully. Nevertheless, the histopathologic examination revealed findings consistent with an appendicular carcinoid tumor. In this report, Presentation of this neoplasm, its diagnosis, management, and prognosis were reviewed.
