Abstract
A 59-year-old Chinese man who presented with signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis is described. The patient received an appendicectomy, and the histology report of the appendix revealed villous adenoma with margin involved. Postoperatively, he developed a colocutaneous fistula and ended up having a right hemicolectomy and fistulectomy. The literature on villous adenoma and other tumours of the appendix is reviewed, and their surgical treatment is discussed.
