Comment: | |||
The sections show marked active mucosal inflammation (microabscesses). This may be acute appendicitis only; however, the possibility of a secondary inflammatory process (infection, ischemia, inflammatory bowel disease, iatrogenic causes) should be considered. The specimen is NEGATIVE for granulomatous inflammation. Clinical correlation is recommended. | |||
