Medical records were examined and interesting data were collected as follows: sex, clinical symptoms, presumptive diagnosis, anatomopathological diagnosis and type of surgery. Tumors in appendix ceci are unusual and represented 0.38 % of 20 057 analyzed appendixes. Sex was not a determining factor. The disease was slightly predominant in patients over 60.
