It is possible that carcinoids present themselves by a surgical emergency, without a <<classic syndrome>>. For these reasons, whenever a rational treatment is requested, an intraoperative diagnosis should be performed. In fact these neoplasms--owing to a less intense aggressiveness--present more indications to undergo surgery. In fact the authors report a case of caecum carcinoid characterized by the lack of typical symptoms of the homonymous syndrome. Urgent surgery was performed because of intestinal occlusion; the ileocaecal valve involvement caused the necessity of a large ileocolic resection with a L-L ileo-transverse anastomosis. The diagnosis of carcinoid was revealed only by the definitive histopathological examination.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
