appendices of normal and inflamed, age and sex wise. Introduction: Mast cells play an …

Introduction Twenty to thirty percent appendices removed from patients with suspected
appendicitis appear normal on histology. The cause of pain in these patients is unknown …

Mast cells are known to be effector cells in various inflammatory reactions, but their role in
appendicitis is unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate the extent of mast …

Introduction: High negative appendectomy rate still prevails on conventional histologic
examination. Increased mural eosinophilic infiltrate had been observed in acute …

Background: The presence of neutrophils in muscularis propria is known to best correlate
with clinical symptoms of acute appendicitis. Eosinophils present in the muscularis propria …

Abstract 120 consecutive appendicectomies and 20 appendices from medicolegal autopsies
were studied. The cases were grouped as. A: Acute appendicitis. B: Acute presentation, not …

Eight cases of a histological entity that we name'acute eosinophilic appendicitis'(AEA) are
described and compared with classical acute appendicitis and appendices, which turned out …

Aim and objective-1) To identify and quantify the mast cells in surgically resected inflamed
appendices. 2) To assess the role of mast cells in the pathogenesis of acute appendicitis. 3) …

Two hundred appendices were studied for mucosal and submucosal mast cell counts. In
histologically normal appendices mucosal mean mast cell count (47.63/sq mm) was more …
