Dr. Reeta Dhar, Dr. Shilpi Sahu, Dr. Abhinav Walia
Abstract :
Carcinoid tumours are the rare neuroendocrine neoplasms, occurring most commonly in the appendix. The clinical presentation of the appendiceal carcinoids is similar to that of acute appendicitis, although in many cases the
tumour is diagnosed incidentally. The diagnosis should be confirmed histologically. Localized disease has an excellent prognosis, and the
tumor usually has little metastatic potential. We report a case of a carcinoid tumour in the body of the appendix of a eighteen year old boy
which was diagnosed incidentally on histopathological examination.
