TI  - Appendiceal carcinoid tumor with lymph node metastasis in a child: case report 
      and review of the literature.

AB  - Most appendiceal carcinoids (ACs) in children present without lymph node 
      metastasis. Lymph node metastasis is rarely present when primary tumor diameter 
      exceeds 1 cm. We present the extraordinary case of an AC with a primary tumor 
      diameter of 0.7 cm and infiltration of the mesentery, as well as 1 positive lymph 
      node of the mesentery in a 14-year-old boy. Besides adding a rare case, we review 
      the data published in the current literature on AC with lymph node metastasis in 
      children and summarize up-to-date guidelines for diagnostic workup, therapy, and 
      follow-up.
