A Rare Case of Appendicealcarcinoid: Importance of Pre Operative Diagnosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Appendicular carcinoid is a rare but most common neuro endocrine tumour of appendix, which arises from endocrine amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) cells. It is often asymptomatic. Preoperative suspicion and diagnosis of appendicular carcinoid is very important. USG, CT and Octreoscanare very useful tools in its diagnosis. Optimal management of appendicular carcinoid could be achieved through accurate pre operative diagnosis. We present this case with classical signs of appendicular carcinoid seen in USG and CT.
