Histopathological Study of Lesions of the Appendix
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The human appendix is a supposedly functionless organ, but can cause morbidity & mortality because it is likely to become infected. A two years study was performed to determine the incidence of various non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the appendix. In each case, clinical findings were correlated with histopathological features. Out of 436 appendicectomy specimens, 99.34% were involved by non-neoplastic lesions and 0.66 % by neoplastic lesions. Non- neoplastic lesions included acute appendicitis with/without perforation, chronic appendicitis, worm infestation and fibrous obliteration. Neoplastic lesions included 1 case each of neuroendocrine neoplasm (NET), adenoma & Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
