Appendiceal neuroma: report of an elusive neuroma

K Gupta, A Solanki, RK Vasishta - Tropical Gastroenterology, 2012 - tropicalgastro.com
Neurogenous hyperplasia of the appendix or appendiceal neuroma, first described by Pierre
Masson in 1928 is a relatively common entity characterized by obliteration of the lumen of
the appendix by proliferation of neural tissue.[1] It represents a hyperplastic proliferation of
unmyelinated nerves and Schwann cells, possibly due to an increased number of extra-
epithelial enteroendocrine cells.[2]
