Abstract
Case 1 : A 77-year-old woman with right lower abdominal pain was found to have acute appendicitis with an abscess. An ileocecal resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a goblet cell carcinoid with adenocarcinoma of the appendix and lymph node metastasis of the carcinoid. Case 2 : A 59-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain came to the hospital. An appendectomy was performed based on a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Histopathological examination revealed a goblet cell carcinoid of the appendix. Because of serosal invasion, a right hemicolectomy with D3 dissection was added. We present these two cases together with a review of the literature.
