Core Tip

Core Tip: In this bibliometric study, we reviewed both the top 10 most co-cited references and 10 references with citation bursts, which helped us better understand the foundation of research in this area and the revolution of research hotspots and frontiers in the perspective of the timeline. The findings showed that scholars had more interest in the classification and management of appendiceal tumors. We believe that maintaining consistency in their classification is advantageous for more precise management. Therefore, we have visualized the classification and summarized the management of appendiceal tumors based on different classifications.
