ABSTRACT
Carcinoid tumor is the most commen tumor of appendix. Metastases from the appendecial carcinoid tumor is rare, and the prognosis of metastatic appendecial carcinoid tumors are closely related to the histologic findings. Atypical, aggressive metastatic carcinoid tumors shows poor prognosis. We experienced a case of atypical aggressive carcinoid tumor of appendix with metastasis. We treated her with combination chemotherapy, etoposide and cisplatin, and achieved partial remission. The duration of remission was 5 months, and survival duration was 19 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of atypical appendiceal carcinoid tumor with distant metastasis in Korea, so we report this case and the result of chemotherapy.
