Definitive diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the appendix by laparoscopic appendectomy.

Abstract
We report a 62-year-old woman with a primary adenocarcinoma of the appendix mimicking ovarian tumor. We had diagnosed it definitively by laparoscopic appendectomy, and additional surgery was required in this case. However, the present case suggests that, in some cases, if cancer of the appendix can be diagnosed early, laparotomy can be avoided and the cancer treated with minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery alone.
