BACKGROUND: Appendiceal @entity5 are found in about 1% of appendectomies performed and 0.5% of intestinal @entity5 . @entity2466 are the predominant histology in this group and are usually casual after appendectomy for other reasons. The prognosis is excellent and survival is 95% at 5 years after surgery. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all @entity1 with @entity2466 surgery in our hospital for 20 years (1990-2010) and survival at 5 years. We also discuss the need for additional treatment and testing for follow-up visits. RESULTS: 42 @entity1 underwent surgery for @entity2466 tumor. 38 of them were operated on urgently, mostly for suspected @entity697 , without having reached the @entity5 diagnosed preoperatively in any of them. The predominant symptomatology at admission was @entity490 . Surgical treatment was appendectomy in 34 @entity1 (12 laparoscopic), 7 @entity1 required colon resections over intraoperatively by colonic involvement; only one @entity1 required reoperation to complete right hemicolectomy. 2 @entity1 had disseminated disease at diagnosis (liver metastases). The 5-year survival is over 95%, with no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The @entity2466 tumor is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Appendectomy surgical treatment is usually sufficient, although colonic resections may be needed for dissemination. The 5-year survival is over 95%.
