AIM OF THE STUDY: To analyse the incidence of @entity2466 in appendectomy specimens and establish the epidemiological and histopathological features, treatment, and clinical course. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 2004 and 2013, 975 @entity1 who underwent appendectomy in Ankara Oncology Education and Research Hospital were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: @entity5 was detected in the nine of 975 (0.9%) @entity1 . Neuroendocrine @entity5 were diagnosed in eight @entity1 by appendectomy, which was performed because of the prediagnosis of @entity697 , and in one @entity1 by the suspicious mass detection during surgical procedures that were done in the appendix for a different reason. Eight of the @entity1 ' @entity5 were in the tip of the appendix, and one of the @entity1 ' @entity5 was at the base of appendix. @entity5 size in 77.8% of @entity1 was equal or less than 1 cm, in 22.2% @entity1 it was 1-2 cm. There was @entity5 invasion in the muscularis propria layer in four @entity1 , in the serosa layer in three @entity1 , and in the deep mesoappendix in two @entity1 . @entity1 were followed for a median of 78 months. In the follow-up of @entity1 who were operated because of @entity694 , metachronous @entity5 evolved. This @entity1 died due to progressive disease. Other @entity1 are still disease-free. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of @entity5 is often incidentally done after appendectomy. @entity5 size is important in determining the extent of disease and in the selection of the surgical method during operation.
