Acute appendicitis with periappendicits - children
Microscopic description
The sections show appendiceal mucosa with focal ulceration and reactive mucosal lymphoid hyperplasia. The muscularis propria is infiltrated by inflammatory cells (including, lymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils), which are also found at the serosal surface. The proximal resection margin is intact. Ganglion cells are present.
Final diagnosis
Vermiform appendix, appendectomy - acute appendicits with periappendicitis.
Checklist approach - to the routine appendix
Microscopic description
Neutrophils in muscularis propria - present.
Inflammation at the serosal surface - present.
Site of perforation identified - no.
Lymphoid hyperplasia - present.
Granulomatous inflammation - not identified.
Fecalith - not identified.
Infectious organisms - not identified on routine stains.
Resection margin viable - yes.
Ganglion cells - present.
Final diagnosis
Vermiform appendix, appendectomy:
- Acute appendicits.
- Acute periappendicitis.
Negative appy - GS
Microscopic description
The sections show appendiceal mucosa with focal ulceration, as demonstrated by intraluminal debris and neutrophils, and marked reactive mucosal/submucosal lymphoid hyperplasia. There are no granulomas and no crypt architectural changes of chronic inflammation. 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, appendectomy - acute inflammation, see microscopic description.
