Abstract
We have read with interest the article by Pérez Montiel CA et al., in which goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) is described as a cause of acute appendicitis. Although the article is brilliant in terms of histopathological description of the appendiceal GCA, the surgical indication for right hemicolectomy should be analyzed in depth due to the great controversy that exists in the scientific literature.
