[An appendicular villous adenoma].
Villous adenomas of the vermiform appendix are uncommon. Their malignant potential is unknown and their treatment is controversial. Because of a reported association between adenomas of the appendix and other gastrointestinal neoplasms, long-term surveillance is recommended. A new case of appendicular villous adenoma is reported.
