Abstract

In this single-center cohort study, incidental appendiceal tumors were mostly small and low-grade NETs; aggressive malignancies were exceptional and occurred in identifiable high-risk profiles. Applied assembled preoperative selection criteria reliably excluded patients with aggressive tumors, thereby supporting the oncologic safety of AOM in rigorously selected individuals.
