Appendiceial carcinoid tumors (CAT) and goblet cell carcinoids (GCCAT) are rare. Most are asymptomatic and found after appendectomy. Metastases to regional nodes are seen in 10% of CATs larger than two cm. Ovarian or peritoneal metastases are seen in 20% of all GCCATs. Further surgical treatments are shown in Tables. Non-resectable CAT are treated with interferon-alpha, somatostatin analogs or radionuclides. Non-resectable GCCATs are treated like colo-rectal cancer. Patients with CAT larger than two cm, involvement of mesoappendix or metastases and all GCCAT should be followed life-long.
