title: [Carcinoids of the appendix].
abstract: Based on a group of six patients with carcinoid of the appendix treated at the Surgical Clinic of Dérer's Hospital in Bratislava in 1988/93, the authors discuss the diagnosis and treatment of clinically silent carcinoids (< 2 cm). Appendectomy was performed and the mesoappendix was removed. The prognosis of these patients is good, after five years 100% of the patients survive. The carcinoid syndrome is a symptom of an advanced tumour or secondaries in the liver where comprehensive treatment (surgery + metastasectomy + chemotherapy) is indicated. One third of the patients survive after five years.
