Appendiceal adenocarcinoma was first described by Berger in 1882, whereas a tumor arising from neuroendocrine cells [neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)] was reported by Masson in 1928. Primary appendiceal tumors (ATs) are rare entities, occurring in <2% of all appendectomies, with an age-adjusted incidence of 0.12 cases per million people per year, even if in large databases the incidence may reach 0.97 per year. Thanks to the current detection methods, including both imaging and colonoscopy, there was an increased incidence and decreased age at diagnosis of AT.

Abstract
Appendiceal adenocarcinoma was first described by Berger in 1882, whereas a tumor arising from neuroendocrine cells [neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)] was reported by Masson in 1928. Primary appendiceal tumors (ATs) are rare entities, occurring in <2% of all appendectomies, with an age-adjusted incidence of 0.12 cases per million people per year, even if in large databases the incidence may reach 0.97 per year. Thanks to the current detection methods, including both imaging and colonoscopy, there was an increased incidence and decreased age at diagnosis of AT.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
