ABSTRACT
A case with carcinoid tumor of the appendix was encountered incidentally during an elective abdominal surgery for borderline mucinous ovarian tumor in a 16-year old female. Carcinoid tumor of appendix is the most common neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract in childhood and adolesence. They are usually regarded as a benign neoplasm and an uncommon source of metastasis and recurrence. We report this case with reference to the value of grosss examination of the appendix and incidental appendectomy during gynecologic abdominal operations.
