An Unusual Case of Appendiceal Carcinoid Tumor in a Child- Case Report.

Carcinoid tumors of the appendix are rare in children. They clinically present with features of acute appendicitis and are often diagnosed incidentally on the resected specimens. Local disease carries an excellent prognosis and simple appendicectomy suffices, whereas advanced cases need a right hemicolectomy. Clinicians must be aware of this under reported and rare tumor in chidren. We report a case of appendiceal carcinoid tumor in a 10 year old male child who presented with clinical features of acute appendicitis which was diagnosed on histopathological examination.

(E)-1,1,4,4-Tetra-phenyl-but-2-yne-1,4-diol.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(28)H(22)O(2), is centrosymmetric with the inversion centre located at the mid-point of the C C bond [1.178 (5) Å]. The hydroxyl groups therefore lie on either side of the mol-ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a linear supra-molecular chain along the b axis.
