Three cases of adenocarcinoma of the appendix are reported. All three patients presented with acute appendicitis and the tumors were diagnosed only on histologic examination of the excised appendix. The first patient subsequently had a right hemicolectomy and was proven to have a Dukes' B tumor. The second patient probably had a Dukes' B also, but no further surgery was performed because of advanced presenile dementia. Advanced disease was found in the third patient. Analysis of 145 cases reported over the last ten years suggests that, unless the tumor is in Dukes' A stage, right hemicolectomy should be carried out if the patient is fit for radical surgery. The overall prognosis appears to be the same as that for carcinoma of the colon.
报告了3例阑尾腺癌病例。所有3例患者均表现为急性阑尾炎，肿瘤仅在切除阑尾的组织学检查中被诊断出来。首例患者随后接受了右半结肠切除术，被证实患有Dukes B期肿瘤。第二例患者可能也处于Dukes B期，但由于患有晚期早老性痴呆而未进行进一步手术。第三例患者发现有晚期疾病。对过去十年报告的145例病例分析表明，除非肿瘤处于Dukes A期，否则如果患者适合进行根治性手术，应实施右半结肠切除术。总体预后似乎与结肠癌相同。
