 Microscopy demonstrated a 5-mm well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor in the tip of the appendix ( Fig. 1 ), which extended into muscularis propria.
H&E stain demonstrating infiltrating neuroendocrine cells and nests confirmed by positive synaptophysin staining (inset). H&E, hematoxylin and eosin.
