Management of pediatric appendiceal carcinoid: a single institution experience from 5000 appendectomies
ConclusionsIn our cohort, the incidence of appendiceal carcinoid among children with appendicitis is very low. Most carcinoids are small, located at the tip, associated with non-perforated appendicitis, and present in girls. Most were treated with appendectomy alone, with more extensive surgery performed in one third of children.
