Abstract:
Nine classic carcinoids smaller than 2 cm, situated elsewhere than at the base of the appendix have been diagnosed in the Department of Pathology of the University Hospital in Olomouc during the period from 1994 to 1999. Appendectomy including removal of the mesenteriolum was performed in all cases. The literature mentions favourable prognosis of patients with small appendiceal carcinoids--100 per cent 5-year survival rate. Tumours greater than 2 cm recur and metastasise. These tumours require oncological therapy in cases with unresectable metastases. This worsens the 5-year survival rate to 21-42%.
