Title

PATHOLOGIC EVALUATION OF APPENDECTOMY SPECIMENS IN CHILDREN: IS ROUTINE HISTOPATHOLGIC EXAMINATION INDICATED

Pages

  485-490

Abstract

 Objective: ACUTE APPENDICITIS is the most common cause of abdominal surgery in children. Similarity between signs and symptoms of appendicitis and other common pediatric illnesses, atypical manifestations of appendicitis in young children, and children's inability to give precise explanation for their symptoms contribute to considerable delay in proper diagnosis and increased rate of perforation. Current study reports the surgical and pathological findings of appendectomies in the largest Children's Hospital in Iran. It also evaluates whether common protocol for pathologic evaluation following APPENDECTOMY is beneficial.Methods: Pathologic reports of 947 appendectomies, performed with the presumptive diagnosis of ACUTE APPENDICITIS, were gathered. Correlation between surgical and pathologic findings was assessed. Demographic characteristics of patients between surgical and pathological subgroups were also compared.Findings: The mean age of participants was 6.9±3.5 years. Eighty seven (25.5%) children had abnormal pathological findings and normal surgical report. None of miscellaneous findings including appendicular carcinoid tumor 3 (0.3%), oxyuriasis 2 (0.2%), and mycobacterial infection 4 (0.5%) were recognizable during the surgery. Of all pathologically confirmed cases with perforated appendicitis, 9.7% were not detected during the surgery.Conclusion: In current study, ACUTE APPENDICITIS was the most common pathological diagnosis, however, high normal APPENDECTOMY rate along with noticeable proportion of surgically missed perforated appendicitis and unusual histopathologies strongly supported routine histological examination.
