Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed existing literature on managing incidental appendiceal carcinoid tumors to evaluate current practices and the necessity for additional treatment procedures.
- A comprehensive search of several medical databases yielded 369 articles, with 37 meeting inclusion criteria alongside 11 hospital cases, resulting in a total of 958 identified cases including demographic details and tumor size impacts.
- The findings indicated that appendectomy is generally sufficient treatment for appendicular carcinoids in children, regardless of tumor characteristics, and highlighted that follow-up investigations post-surgery were not beneficial.
