BACKGROUND
An extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma is a rare condition. It has similar histological features to pulmonary small cell carcinoma and is equally aggressive.
CASE PRESENTATION
We present the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with right upper quadrant pain. Computerised tomography revealed an appendiceal lesion and multiple liver metastases. Exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy was performed with histopathological analysis confirming a primary small cell carcinoma of her appendix.
CONCLUSION
This is the first reported case of a pure extrapulmonary carcinoma arising from the appendix.
背景
肺外小细胞癌是一种罕见疾病。它具有与肺小细胞癌相似的组织学特征，且同样具有侵袭性。
病例介绍
我们报告一例60岁女性患者，她因右上腹疼痛就诊。计算机断层扫描显示阑尾有病变以及多处肝转移。进行了剖腹探查和右半结肠切除术，组织病理学分析证实为阑尾原发性小细胞癌。
结论
这是首例报道的起源于阑尾的纯肺外小细胞癌病例。
