Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid Tumour: A Case of Unexpected Lung Metastasis

Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid Tumour: A Case of Unexpected Lung Metastasis

Goblet cell carcinoid tumours are often considered a subset of appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours which behave more aggressively. They usually metastasize through transcoelomic/peritoneal invasion and common sites include the ovaries, peritoneum, and liver. Metastases may have goblet cell carcinoid,...
