===Microscopic description=== | |||
The sections show reactive mucosal/submucosal lymphoid hyperplasia and submucosal fibromuscular hyperplasia. There is focal granulation tissue formation and intestinal crypt changes, including branching, as seen in repair. Scattered hemosiderin-laden macrophages are present. The muscularis propria is not infiltrated by inflammatory cells, nor is the serosal surface. The proximal resection margin is intact. Ganglion cells are present. | |||
===Final diagnosis=== | |||
Vermiform appendix, (interval) appendectomy - lymphoid hyperplasia with fibromuscular hyperplasia, consistent with recent appendicitis. | |||
