Abstract:
During an operation for suspected appendicitis, no appendix was found at the confluence of the caecal taeniae. A mobile mass in the caecum was explored and intussusception of the appendix was identified. Histological examination of the specimen revealed carcinoid of the appendix. The diagnosis and management of intussusception of the appendix are discussed.
