摘　　要：BACKGROUND Despite the rarity of appendiceal tumors,research in this field has intensified,resulting in a growing number of studies and published papers.Surprisingly,no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has specifically addressed appendiceal tumors.AIM To offer a thorough analysis of the current landscape and future trends in appendiceal tumor research.METHODS In our bibliometric analysis studies,we explored the Web of Science Core Collection database.The bibliographic details of the chosen publications were automatically converted and analyzed using the bibliometric package in the R environment.Additionally,we employed VoSviewer to create cooperation network maps for countries,institutions,and authors,as well as clustering maps for keywords.Furthermore,CiteSpace,another software tool,was utilized to build dual-map overlays of journals and analyze references with citation bursts.RESULTS Our study included 780 English-language articles published after 2010.The number of related publications and citations has increased in the past decade.The United States leads in this area,but there is a need to improve cooperation and communication among countries and institutions.Co-occurrence analysis also revealed close collaboration among different authors.Annals of Surgical Oncology was the most influential journal in this field.Analysis of references with high cocitations and references with citation bursts,consistent with analysis of keywords and hotspots,indicated that current research primarily centers on the classification and management of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and consequent pseudomyxoma peritonei.Despite the abundance of clinical studies,a greater number of in-depth basic research studies should be conducted.CONCLUSION Current research on appendiceal tumors focuses on classification and management of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei.Enhanced collaboration and basic research are vital for further advancement.
