Histomorphological Study to find out the Etio-pathogenesis of Appendicectomy Specimens – A Cross Sectional Study in RIMS, Ranchi
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Disease of the appendix looms large in surgical practice, but still there is controversy regarding the pathogenesis. The objective is to study the distribution of appendicitis and other appendiceal lesions according to age, sex and predominance, and to determine the etiopathogenesis behind it. In one year, 100 resected appendix specimens studied, those were clinically diagnosed as appendicitis. Material and Method: Gross examination of the resected appendix specimens and microscopic examination by using routine and special stains. Results: Among 100 cases, 70 chronic appendicitis, 13 acute appendicitis, 9 eosinophilic appendicitis, 3 granulomatous appendicitis, 1 enterobial appendicitis, mucocele, carcinoid, carcinoma and lymphoma each were observed. Female predominance is noted with 57 female and 43 male cases. The commonest age group is between 21 – 30 years. The commonest cause of luminal obstruction is faecolith. Conclusion: Luminal obstruction by faecolith, lymphoid hyperplasia or increased fibrosis is the main cause behind the pathogenesis of appendicitis. The second probable cause is virus induced mucosal ulceration, followed by bacterial invasion.
