ABSTRACT

Introduction. The most common pathology of the appendix is acute inflammation. Appendicular tumors have an incidence 0.4% of all tumors of the digestive tract, and they represent a small group within the pathology of organ and its importance lies in that they are exceptionally diagnosed before or during surgery, and in cases where it is suspected the intraoperative diagnosis may be questions regarding the surgical treatment of choice. Objective: To record the incidence and histology of appendicular tumors as well as the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with appendicular tumors in Medica Sur. Material and methods. A retrospective, observational, descriptive study. Medical Sur Clinic and Foundation. Archives of Pathology from 2003 to 2013 pertaining to spare with surgical diagnosis of acute appendicitis were reviewed. Descriptive and exploratory analysis was conducted to determine histology, clinical presentation and correlate data. Results. 3,430 patients with preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis were recorded. Eight benign tumors and 34 malignant of 42 appendicular tumors (1.22%) were diagnosed. Twenty-five patients were female and 17 male, median ages was 42 ± 19 years. Age less than 35 years at diagnosis were associated with a neuroendocrine appendicular tumor (p = 0.034). Conclusions. The appendicular tumors are rare clinical condition often symptoms that require imaging. The most common clinical presentation was as acute appendicitis. Sometimes are incidental findings in imaging tests performed in the study of other diseases.
