[Carcinoma of the appendix. Presentation of one clinical case and review of the literature (author's transl)].
After presenting one case of carcinoma of the appendix of their own observation, the authors discuss several aspects of the anatomopathology, clinical course, and diagnosis of tumors of the appendix. From a review of existing literature it emerges that no case of carcinoma of the appendix was ever diagnosed preoperatively. The authors evaluate the difficulties inherent in such diagnosis and recommend some means of investigation that are currently applied to other organs.
