Duodenal Obstruction Caused by the Long-term Recurrence of Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid.

Duodenal Obstruction Caused by the Long-term Recurrence of Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid. Intern Med. 2020 Aug 04;: Authors: Saito M, Asanuma K, Hatta W, Koike T, Hata T, Fujishima F, Furukawa T, Unno M, Masamune A Abstract A 38-year-old Japanese man who had been diagnosed with appendiceal carcinoid and undergone ileocecal resection 8 years before, presented with duodenal obstruction caused by a submucosal tumor-like appearance. He was diagnosed with long-term recurrence of appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) with a multi-morphological pattern based on the histological assessment of a duodenal biopsy and his previously resected appendix. He underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with resection of an ileo-colic anastomotic lesion. The GCC recurred at the nearby ileo-colic anastomosis and invaded the duodenum. This late recurrence might have resulted from the unique features of his GCC, which contained cells with different degrees of malignancy. PMID: 32759580 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
