Abstract
An analysis of cases has shown that cancer and appendicitis are more frequently associated than was previously noted. This concurrence of the two conditions has led to mistaken diagnoses and consequent improper treatment. The association between appendicitis and cancer is reviewed according to four possible relationships and procedures outlined for proper diagnosis and early treatment.Keywords
