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