PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - The incidence of appendiceal tumors in the United States is approximately 2500 to 5000 cases per year.1,2 There are two major types of appendiceal neoplasms: nonepithelial neoplasms including neuroendocrine neoplasms (previously referred to as carcinoids) and epithelial neoplasms including mucinous adenocarcinomas, colonic-type adenocarcinomas, goblet cell carcinoids (adenocarcinoid), and signet ring cell carcinomas (Table 120-1). The carcinogenesis, tumor biology, clinical presentation, management, and oncologic outcomes differ among the various tumor subtypes mentioned above. The oncologic outcomes and management strategies for colonic-type adenocarcinomas and signet ring cell carcinomas of the appendix mimic their counterparts within the colon, and will therefore not be discussed in this chapter. Similarly, neuroendocrine neoplasms of the appendix will be considered in a separate chapter.
