Background: Adenomas are rarely diagnosed in the appendix and may be isolated or may coexist with other neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. This emphasizes the need for postoperative colonoscopy when a polyp of the appendix is found. Moreover, the polyps are considered to be premalignant lesions.
Aim: Report two new cases of adenomas of the appendix.
Cases: We report the cases of 23-year-old and 22-year-old men, for whom appendicectomy performed for acute appendicitis. In both cases, histologic studies revealed adenomas in moderate dysplasia ; colonoscopy did not reveal any polyps.
