Aim:
To report the pathology of appendiceal epithelial neoplasms a review of the Washington Cancer Institute experience and a PubMed literature search was performed.
Findings:
Epithelial appendiceal neoplasms present a significant oncologic challenge. The clinical and pathologic features are unusually varied as compared to other gastrointestinal cancers and require expert clinical judgment for proper management.
Conclusions:
Appendiceal epithelial neoplasms should be regarded as a distinct clinical entity with special clinical treatments used for optimal management.
