[Carcinoid of the appendix in incarcerated femoral hernia].
Carcinoid tumor can be found in the appendix in approximately 20% cases of all carcinoids located in gastrointestinal tract, which represents the main site involved by 75% of all carcinoids. Primary carcinoid of appendix has been found in 0.5% of all appendectomies. Femoral hernia is also rather rare pathology occurring among all hernias in less than five percent cases. We describe clinical observation of an exceptional combination of these two pathological entities presented as unexpected appendiceal carcinoid found within the incarcerated femoral hernia.
