Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid: An Unexpected Histology Following Simple Appendicectomy
Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is an enigmatic and rare tumour involving the appendix almost exclusively. It is a rare, aggressive subtype of appendiceal tumours with neuroendocrine features, and controversy exists with regards to therapeutic strategy. We herein highlight a 56-year-old lady with GCC wh...
