    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Appendix neoplasms represent a rare subset of gastrointestinal tumors, comprising 0.1-0.5% of all such malignancies.
    • This study presents a case series of three patients diagnosed with appendix tumors between 1987 and 1995.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management of appendix neoplasms.
    • To highlight the difficulties in intraoperative diagnosis and the importance of histopathological evaluation.

    Summary:

    • Appendix tumors can present with varied clinical pictures, mimicking acute appendicitis or colonic tumors.
    • Intraoperative diagnosis is often inconclusive, necessitating post-operative pathological analysis.
    • Treatment strategies, including appendectomy and right hemicolectomy, are guided by histomorphological findings and surgical assessment.
