Goblet cell carcinoid

The goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a rare biphasic gastrointestinal tract tumour that consists of a neuroendocrine component and a conventional carcinoma, histologically arising from Paneth cells.

GCCs may present as appendicitis.

GCCs are diagnosed by pathology. They have a characteristic biphasic appearance which includes (1) goblet cell-like cells, and (2) neuroendocrine-type nuclear chromatin (stippled chromatin).

GCCs have an aggressive course compared to other appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours.

GCCs are treated with surgery.
