Here, we report an adenocarcinoma found in the specimen of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with acute appendicitis. The adenocarcinoma was detected in the appendix stump after emergency laparoscopic appendectomy. The patient was diagnosed with caecal cancer based on post-operative lower endoscopy findings, and an additional laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed. Acute appendicitis can occur at any age and may require emergency surgery. It is a benign disease that can be cured entirely by appendectomy in most cases but may result from an underlying malignant disease in some cases, especially in patients &amp;gt;40\u00a0years of age. Thus, clinicians should consider the possibility of a malignancy while diagnosing and treating acute appendicitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,15]],"date-time":"2024-05-15T14:40:18Z","timestamp":1715784018000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A
