[Appendicular carcinoid tumor in childhood].
Apendicular Carcinoid tumors are very infrequent, being lower than 0.1% of the appendicectomies carried out. We report on the case of a 13 year-old girl, with Acute Appendicitis picture. The appendix was removed and the histological study revealed the presence of the carcinoid tumor with a diameter of a 6 mm. Where non-invasive treatment was decided on, and at present, after two years follow-up, there has been no recurrence.
