Abstract:
A unique case of an infarcted carcinoid of the appendix is presented in which the computed tomography (CT) and clinical findings mimicked an appendiceal abscess. Though unusual, this possibility and appearance should be familiar to the radiologist particularly if percutaneous drainage is considered.
