The neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher thancontrol group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Evaluation of laboratory values at admission, histopathological examination of appendiceal specimens, early diagnosisof cancer and performing the appropriate treatment are required for the survival of patients.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: Carcinoid tumor is the most frequent primary tumor of the appendix which may reach up to 60% of all appendiceal neoplasms.We aimed to evaluate the incidental appendiceal carcinoid tumors following acute appendicitis analyzing the demographics, clinical,laboratory, pathological features and follow-up results of the patients.Material and Methods: We evaluated the patients retrospectively who had been operated for acute appendicitis between January2006 and May 2018 .Results: We found 29 patients with carcinoid tumor among 7122 cases (0.4%) between 2006-2018.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Median size of tumors was foundto be 7.5 mm (Min: 0.8, max: 20 mm).

Abstract

Aim: Carcinoid tumor is the most frequent primary tumor of the appendix which may reach up to 60% of all appendiceal neoplasms.We aimed to evaluate the incidental appendiceal carcinoid tumors following acute appendicitis analyzing the demographics, clinical,laboratory, pathological features and follow-up results of the patients.Material and Methods: We evaluated the patients retrospectively who had been operated for acute appendicitis between January2006 and May 2018 .Results: We found 29 patients with carcinoid tumor among 7122 cases (0.4%) between 2006-2018. Median size of tumors was foundto be 7.5 mm (Min: 0.8, max: 20 mm). While appendectomy was sufficient for 27 of the patients, right hemicolectomy was performedfor 2 cases. When labaratory values were analysed the neutrophil / WBC ratio was significantly higher and lymphocyte count in thestudy group was significantly lower than control group (p < 0.05). The neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher thancontrol group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Evaluation of laboratory values at admission, histopathological examination of appendiceal specimens, early diagnosisof cancer and performing the appropriate treatment are required for the survival of patients.
