Short Review of The Rising Incidence of Appendiceal Cancers

Appendicitis is a common and urgent surgical condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix. Appendicitis is also a multifactorial condition with various potential causes. While luminal obstruction remains the primary theory, various factors, including infections, dietary habits, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, trauma, and immune responses, all contribute to its pathogenesis. While the exact etiology of appendicitis is not fully understood, several factors have been identified as potential contributors to its development. The aim of this paper is to add one more uncommon but important appendiceal syndrome to the list of potential causes, i.e., Appendiceal Cancer, which shows the same clinical patterns as “ordinary” appendicitis.
