ABSTRACT

Carcinoid tumor of the appendix has been known since 1808, and currently we know that it may appear all along the intestinal tract, biliary tree, ovaries, bronchi, lungs and pancreas. It is usually uncommon during infancy, representing 1.8% of all the tumors of the intestinal tract, approximately 70% of the appendiceal tumors and 0.16 to 0.7% of all operated appendixes. It is more frequent in females. With no typical clinical picture, it is usually an incidental finding, as well as a cause of inflammatory processes of the appendix. When the diameter is less than 1.0 cm, the treatment of choice is appendectomy; and in tumors of larger size, surgery is more extensive. Two cases are reported.
