Intussusception of appendix with carcinoid tumour. A case report.

During an operation for suspected appendicitis, no appendix was found at the confluence of the caecal taeniae. A mobile mass in the caecum was explored and intussusception of the appendix was identified. Histological examination of the specimen revealed carcinoid of the appendix.
