Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to submit the frequ- ency of appendix carcinoid tumors that we see incidentally in urgent appendectomies and their retrospective analysis of the long-term results. Material and Methods: 3769 urgent appendectomies bet- ween February 2006 and December 2012 at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital are analyzed retrospecti- vely. Age, gender, pre-surgery clinical findings, histopatho- logical results and operation reports are analyzed and the result is submitted. Results: In 3769 appendectomies; totally 10 appendix carcinoid tumors are observed (0.26 %). The age average of 4 male and 6 women patients is 34.4/years (age limits: 19-52). The pre-surgery clinic of all the patients is acute appendicitis. 8 patients were operated via open appendec- tomy and 2 patients via laparoscopic appendectomy and no additional operation was required for any of the patients. All of the tumors were localized at the end of appendix and their diameter was averagely 8.6 mm (diameter limits: 1-20 mm). No adjuvant treatment was applied at all. All the pati- ents are alive and the follow-up period without any diseases and symptoms is averagely 37.3/ months (follow-up limits: 5-69). Conclusion: Carcinoid tumors are the most frequently seen tumors of appendix. Appendix carcinoids give similar cli- nical findings such as acute appendicitis that we frequently see in our emergency surgery practices. Most of the cases incidentally detected during the appendectomies. Before the histopathological examination; carcinoid tumor is rarely considered as diagnosis. The value of the histopathological analysis of every appendix should be considered. Although it has a serosal or intramural lymphatic invasion; the tu- mors with a diameter smaller than 20 mm can be treated via appendectomy and the resection of mesoappendix. In our study, the incidence rate of appendix carcinoid tumors, is found close to the lower limit of the literature average. Long-term life expectancy in the carcinoid tumors of ap- pendix is well.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı acil apendektomilerde raslan- tısal olarak karşılaştığımız apendiks karsinoid tümörlerinin sıklığı ve uzun dönem sonuçlarının retrospektif bir analizini iletmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Okmeydanı Eğitim ve Araştırma Hasta- nesinde Şubat 2006’dan Aralık 2012’ye kadar yapılan 3769 acil apendektomi retrospektif değerlendirildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, ameliyat öncesi klinik bulgular, histopatolojik sonuçlar, operasyon raporları analiz edildi ve sonuç sunuldu. Bulgular: 3769 Apendektomide toplam 10 apendiks karsi- noid tümörüne rastlandı (% 0.26). Dört erkek, 6 kadın olan hastaların yaş ortalaması 34.4/yıldır (yaş sınırları: 19-52). Tüm hastaların ameliyat öncesi kliniği akut apendisitti. Se- kiz hasta konvansiyonel ve 2 hasta laparoskopik ameliyat edildi ve hiçbirine ek operasyon gerekmedi. Tümörlerin hepsi de apendiksin ucunda lokalize idi ve çapları ortalama 8.6 mm (çap sınırları: 1-20 mm). Hiçbirine adjuvan teda- vi uygulanmadı. Tüm hastalar hayatda olup, hastalıksız ve belirtisiz izlem süresi ortalama 37.3 aydır (izlem sınırları: 5-69 ay). Sonuç: Karsinoid tümörler apendiksin en sık görülen tü- mörüdür. Apendiksin karsinoidleri acil cerrahi pratiğimiz- de sıklıkla karşılaştığımız akut apendisit gibi klinik bulgu- lar verir. Olguların çoğu apendektomiler sırasında raslantı sonucunda ortaya çıkar. Histopatolojik tetkikden önce kar- sinoid tümör tanısından ender olarak kuşku duyulur. Çıka- rılan her apendiksin histopatolojik analizinin değeri önem- senmelidir. Serozal veya intramural lenfatik invazyon olsa da çapı 20 mm’den küçük tümörler apendektomi ve mesoa- pendiksin rezeksiyonu ile tedavi edilebilir. Çalışmamızdaki apendiks karsinoid tümörlerinin sıklık oranı, literatür orta- lamasının alt sınırına yakın bulunmuştur. Apendiksin karsi- noid tümörlerinde yaşam baklentisi uzundur.
