Carcinoid tumors of the appendix.

G A Bowman, D Rosenthal

    American Journal of Surgery
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Simple appendectomy is sufficient for appendiceal carcinoids under 1 cm. For larger tumors or those with lymph node metastasis, more extensive surgery like right hemicolectomy is recommended.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Appendiceal carcinoids are rare neuroendocrine tumors.
    • Treatment strategies vary based on tumor size and invasiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the adequacy of surgical management for appendiceal carcinoids.
    • To define optimal treatment guidelines based on tumor characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient data with appendiceal carcinoids.
    • Correlation of tumor size, surgical margins, and lymph node status with outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Simple appendectomy is adequate for tumors < 1 cm.
    • Radical surgery is indicated for gross lymph node metastases.
    • Tumors > 2 cm require radical right hemicolectomy.
    • Appendectomy alone may suffice for 1-2 cm tumors unless mesoappendiceal/subserosal lymphatic invasion is present.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical approach for appendiceal carcinoids should be tailored to tumor size and invasiveness.
    • Appendectomy is often sufficient, but radical resection may be necessary in specific cases.
    • Further research is needed to clarify optimal management for intermediate-sized tumors.
