Incidence of appendiceal neoplasms upon pathoanatomical specimens
Summary:
Benign or malignant appendiceal tumors, although rare they require appropriate and often complex surgical treatment. Appendiceal neoplasms account 0.4% to 1% of all gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms. Approximately 1% of all large bowel cancers arise from the appendix. An unanticipated appendiceal neoplasm can be encountered at any elective or emergency operation (either it is exclusive appendectomy or not). Approximately 50% of all appendiceal neoplasm, present with clinical manifestation of acute appendicitis and are diagnosed during frozen section examination. The two most commonly occurring appendiceal malignant tumors are carcinoid and adenocarcinoma. Purpose of this postgraduate thesis is to present an accurate epidemiologic report concerning the incidence of the most commonly found histological types of appendiceal neoplasms, upon pathoanatomical specimens. The duration period of time is from January 2000 until January 2018. All these specimens were collected from the pathoanatomical department of Hippocratio general hospital of Athens.
