Overview
Appendix cancer is classified according to the histological findings. According to WHO classification, there are four major groups of appendix cancer including epithelial tumors, non-epithelial tumors, secondary tumors, and hyperplastic (metaplastic) polyps. Carcinoid (well differentiated endocrine neoplasm), and adenocarcinoma are two major subtypes of epithelial tumors, making the majority of appendix cancer cases.
Classification
- Epithelial tumors
- Non-epithelial tumors
- Secondary tumors
- Hyperplastic (metaplastic) polyps.
- The table below summarizes the different types of appendix cancer according to the WHO classification.
