摘要
Mucocele of the appendix secondary to appendicular carcinoid tumour is a rare entity. It occurs exceptionally during pregnancy. The interaction between carcinoid tumour or mucocele of the appendix and pregnancy is not yet elucidated. Prognosis depends on the size of the carcinoid tumour and its regional invasion. We report a case of appendicular mucocele caused by a carcinoid tumour in a 36-year-old pregnant woman who had been admitted because of acute appendicitis. Pathological examination of the appendicectomy specimen revealed a carcinoid tumour measuring 2 cm. Right hemicolectomy was performed two weeks after delivery with good evolution. According to this case and depending on the literature, the authors discuss the diagnosis and the therapeutic modalities proposed for this rare entity.
