Histopathology of Appendicectomy Specimen: A 5 Year Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
: A 5 year study was performed to determine the patterns of lesions (non-neoplastic and neoplastic), to study their detailed morphological features and to correlate the clinical diagnosis with the histopathological diagnosis of the appendectomy specimens.Histopathological records of resected appendices were reviewed over a period of 5 years. In each case, a brief clinical history and physical examination along with the evaluation of available relevant investigations was carried out. Out of 440 appendectomy specimens, 98.6% were found to be involved by non-neoplastic lesions and 1.4% was found to be involved by neoplastic lesions. Histopathological diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made in 64% of clinically diagnosed acute appendicitis cases .In rest of the cases; diagnosis other than acute appendicitis was made. In 5.7% cases, no significant abnormality was seen histopathologically and these were labeled as normal appendices thus accounting for negative appendectomy rate of 5.7%.The present study provides a fare insight into the histological patterns of lesions in appendectomy specimens.
