Tubular carcinoid tumor of the appendix – a clinical cas
Journal Title: Human & Veterinary Medicine - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: We present the clinical case of a young patient of 18 years old male, who was admitted in the surgical department of Cluj-Napoca County Hospital with symptoms of acute appendicitis. The appendectomy was performed, while during the surgery the macroscopic appearance of the appendix was of a slight catarrhal appendicitis, with no sign of a tumor, but the appendix was not sectioned longitudinally. The histopathological examination revealed a tubular carcinoid tumor on the tip of the appendix. We discuss the indication of a more extended surgery for such a tumor. Results: The patient is 18 months after surgery with no signs of tumor extension. Conclusions: The appendectomy is enough for carcinoid tumors of the tip of the appendix, of small sizes, without vascular or perineural invasion.
