title: [Carcinoid tumors of the appendix and small intestine as unusual secondary findings during gynecologic operations in and outside of pregnancy].
abstract: Report is given on 9 patients suffering from a carcinoid observed at the Department of Gynecology of the Medical Academy of Erfurt from 1963 till 1982: one carcinoid of the small intestine with metastases and abdominal syndrome and eight cases with carcinoid of appendix. Two of these during pregnancy and the carcinoid of small intestine show the difficulties of the differential diagnosis and the possible combinations in face of gynecologic diseases. In 2 cases of carcinoid of the appendix during pregnancy the children didn't show any malformations. On the strength of supervision of the course we think in accordance to the international literature the sole appendectomy will be sufficient. Nevertheless we make demands for a careful investigation and palpation of the appendix in all gynecologic operations and if necessary the appendectomy.
