Thirteen cases of primary appendicular adenocarcinoma are reported. This rare tumour usually presents as acute appendicitis. The correct diagnosis is rarely entertained before or during surgery. The main treatment choice lies between appendicectomy alone and appendicectomy followed by right hemicolectomy. There are anatomical reasons for advising the latter and survival figures from the literature tend to support this preference. The cases reported here indicate that in the period 1972-1984, in the North West Region, there was a slight preference for appendicectomy alone. The additional procedure of right hemicolectomy did not confer any clear-cut survival advantage.
