Goblet Cell Carcinoid of the Appendix

Abstract

Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) of the appendix is a rare neoplasm that shares histological features of both adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumor. In this case, a sonogram of a patient was performed to evaluate adnexal pain, which resulted in the finding of an abnormal appendix. The patient had surgical intervention for appendicitis, which was pathologically confirmed with the addition of GCC. Evaluation of the appendix is warranted if the source of the adnexal pain is not discovered and is indicated clinically.
