Appendiceal neoplasms are histologically heterogeneous; however, this diversity becomes less relevant compared with the marked difference from cancers of the remaining colon. The previously observed increase in cases appears to be abating; fewer cases of appendicitis and/or appendectomies or changes in histopathological assessment may be behind this trend.
