Perforated Goblet Cell Carcinoid of the Appendix.

Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) of the perforated appendix is rare, and its pathological features and prognosis remain poorly described. A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for right lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and high-grade fever. She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent emergency laparoscopic appendectomy. Intraoperative examination revealed an enlarged and perforated appendix. Histopathological examination revealed GCC of the appendix with subserosal invasion. She underwent laparoscopic ileocecal resection with lymph node dissection (D3) following appendectomy. Histopathological findings showed no residual tumor or lymph node metastases. To the best of our knowledge, this report is a valuable addition to the GCC literature, describing a case of GCC of the appendix presenting as perforated appendix.
