Carcinoids are the most common tumors of the appendix. The prevalence of these tumors is more in children. Clinically appendiceal carcinoids present as acute appendicitis, although in many cases the tumor is diagnosed incidentally during an operation. The diagnosis is confirmed on histology. The prognosis in patients with local disease is excellent. In small lesions, ‘Isolated Appendicectomy’ is considered as the most appropriate treatment, while in larger lesions ‘Right Colectomy’ should be performed. We report a case of a carcinoid tumor appendix measuring 0.7 cm in diameter, in a 21 year old female, which was diagnosed on histology. Appendicectomy was done with a clinical diagnosis of ‘Acute Appendicitis’. Carcinoid tumor was incidentally diagnosed on histology. The patient is considered free of disease as the prognosis of tumor less than 2cm local is excellent.
