Appendicular neuroendocrine tumours (aNETs) are the most common type of appendicular neoplasm and the fifth most common neuroendocrine tumour in the gastrointestinal tract. They are most often discovered incidentally during appendectomy performed for acute appendicitis. They are generally characterised by indolent progression and an excellent prognosis, particularly when they are well differentiated and small in size. We report the case of a 40-year-old female patient who underwent emergency surgery for acute appendicitis. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed a well-differentiated appendicular neuroendocrine tumour, classified as G2 pT2. Postoperative management was discussed taking into account the histopathological characteristics and recent recommendations.
