The aim of the current paper was to critically collect, select and summarize the evidence regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow up of primary tumors of the appendix. A literature review was performed by search and review of the scientific studies pertaining to the subject of our inquiry. Recommendations regarding pimary tumors of the appendix were formulated on the basis of the collected evidence. Primary tumors of the appendix are rare and a high index of suspicion is required not to miss a potentially life threatening medical condition.
