Twenty-one carcinoid tumours of the appendix are reviewed. These represented 77 percent of all appendiceal primary tumours over a 16 year period and presented at a mean age of 32.3 years. No difference in sex incidence or significant racial trends were revealed. Discovery of the tumour followed presentation as appendicitis in most cases (14) and was incidental after routine appendicectomy at laparotomy in the rest. Most tumours were less than 2 cm in diameter, and five involved the appendix wall diffusely. All were argentaffin and contained significant areas of type A histological pattern. Lymphatic permeation was noted in nearly half the cases and invasion of the mesoappendix in 33 percent. Treatment was by simple appendicectomy in nineteen patients, appendicectomy with removal of a wedge of caecum in one, and right hemicolectomy in another. The literature is reviewed.
对21例阑尾类癌肿瘤进行了回顾性研究。这些病例占16年间所有阑尾原发性肿瘤的77%，患者的平均年龄为32.3岁。未发现性别发病率差异或明显的种族倾向。大多数病例（14例）肿瘤是在表现为阑尾炎后被发现的，其余病例是在剖腹手术常规阑尾切除术后偶然发现的。大多数肿瘤直径小于2厘米，5例肿瘤弥漫性累及阑尾壁。所有肿瘤均为嗜银性，且含有显著的A型组织学模式区域。近一半病例可见淋巴管浸润，33%的病例可见阑尾系膜侵犯。19例患者接受了单纯阑尾切除术，1例患者接受了阑尾切除并切除楔形盲肠，另1例患者接受了右半结肠切除术。并对相关文献进行了综述。
