    Author: Scaravilli F, Giordano T, Quartarone AP, Papalia A, Bronzetti B, Bellantonio R, De Leo S.

    Abstract:
    The authors report one rare case of primary adenocarcinoma of the vermiform appendix. The patient, an 83 year old female, presented with a non-pathognomonic symptomatology; diagnosis was made postoperatively. Surgery consisted of appendicectomy. The patient, due to her poor general condition, died three days after surgery for cardiocirculatory complications. In the light of the very rare case published in the literature, some diagnostic, anatomic-clinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of this rare tumor are discussed.
