columnar epithelium, which showed positive immunohistochemical reaction to CK. The carcinoid component, composed of nests of uniform, chromogranin positive tumor cells, which showed up to 4 mitoses on 10 high power fields, infiltrated the whole thickness of appendiceal wall and extended to periappendiceal fat tissue. In conclusion, the incidence of neoplasms in appendicectomy specimens varies from 1% to 10% according to different studies. Hence, it is important to thoroughly examine the potentially inflamed appendices, particularly when there is no sign of acute pathologic condition.
