Abstract
A case of a 57 year old male presenting with abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed small bowel obstruction. He underwent an emergency open right hemicolectomy which showed a stenotic mass in ileocaecal junction. Histopathology was that of Mixed Adeno - Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the appendix (MANEC), a very rare histological subtype of primary appendiceal cancer with a poor prognosis.
