Notes:
Abstract Involvement of contiguous organs by a neoplasm is ordinarily evidence of aggressive malignant behavior. A patient presented with a bladder mass found to be arising in the cecum and diagnosed as a benign villous adenoma. Growth down a diseased appendix is proposed to explain the apparent extension of a relatively nonaggressive lesion into an adjacent organ.
