| dc:description | BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine tumors of appendix (ANETs) known as carcinoids, are rare endocrine neoplasms originated from enterochromaffin cells of gastrointestinal tract. ANETs are the third most frequent (16.7%) gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, with the incidence of 0.08-0.2 cases/100000 during one year. Incidental ANETs occur in 0.2%-0.7% of emergency surgical resections because of suspected appendicitis which is usually the first manifestation of ANET. Although there are a lot of papers about application of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, there are very rare sporadic cases described about ANETs particularly. AIM: To establish the role of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) in the management of patients with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix (ANET). METHODS: . application of 740 MBq technetium-99m ethylenediamine-N, N'-diacetic acid Hydrazinonicotinyl-Tyr3-Octreotide (technetium-99m-Tektrotyd, Polatom, Poland). SRS was performed for restaging in all the patients after surgery. RESULTS: = 0.434). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our results confirmed the value of SRS in the follow-up of the patients with ANET after surgery, if recurrences or metastases are suspected. |
