      Abstract

      Adenocarcinoma of the appendix is an uncommon lesion. Malignant mucocele and the colonic type of adenocarcinoma are variants of the same tumor, but merit distinction because of their different natural history and prognosis. Twenty-one cases of malignant mucocele and 63 cases of the colonic type of adenocarcinoma are reviewed. Simple appendectomy is adequate treatment for unruptured malignant mucoceles and the colonic type of adenocarcinomas of the appendix which arise in polyps and show no invasion of the polyp stalk. A right hemicolectomy offers the best prognosis for other varieties of the colonic type of adenocarcinoma.
