Abstract
|
|
|
Because of the presence of infiltrating group of signet ring cells in mucin producing
tumor of vermiform appendix, this tumor has often been diagnosed and treated as
adenocarcinoma. However, it was recently recognized that this tumor is histologically
and biologically similar to a carcinoid tumor. In view of the clinically and morphologic-
ally benign course of this tumor, radical surgery beyond appendectomy is questioned.
A case of unusual mucoid variant of carcinoid tumor of appendix in a 52 years old
male is presented with review of the literature.
