combined classical carcinoid and goblet cell carcinoid tumor
6 September 2010Definition: Carcinoid tumors are the most common neoplasms of the appendix. Histologically they have been categorized as classical, tubular, or goblet cell types.
Goblet cell carcinoid has been regarded as a distinctive tumor type, not related to classic carcinoids. Combinations of these 2 tumor types have rarely been described. (#20631606#)
The occurrence of both carcinoid types in the same appendices suggests a closer histogenetic relationship than previously believed, although the (...) -
appendiceal diverticula
23 July 2009Appendiceal diverticula may rupture, resulting in mucin on the appendiceal serosa, which may raise concern for an underlying appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.

26 September 2007Synopsis
transmural epithelioid cell granulomas (EPGs) predominantly nonsuppurative surrounded by a lymphoid cuff composed of small lymphocytes.
suppurative granulomas EPGs with suppuration of the centers of the granulomas (central microabscesses)
EPGs composed of numerous histiocytes with or without epithelioid cell features, along with scattered small T-lymphocytes and plasmacytoid monocytes. None of the EPGs contain monocytoid B-cells.
