Abstract:
In a series of 954 laparotomies performed for suspected acute appendicitis 5 (0.5%) cecal carcinomas were encountered. When considering patients over 50 years of age only, the incidence of right sided colon carcinomas raised to 5%. The authors review the therapeutic options in order to optimize patients' survival.
