Management of pediatric appendiceal carcinoid: a single institution experience from 5000 appendectomies
2019
Aim of the study
Appendiceal carcinoid (neuroendocrine tumor or NET) is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm often found incidentally following appendectomy for appendicitis. Surgery for appendicitis is currently under scrutiny and children are increasingly managed conservatively with antibiotics alone. Herein, we aimed to review our experience with the management of appendiceal carcinoids at our institution.
