Abstract

 

Background: Acute Eosinophilic Appendicitis (AEA) is a rare entity
characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of muscularis propria with
accompanying edema separating the muscle fibres. It presents with
similar symptoms as classical appendicitis. Objective: The present
work aims to study the histomorphological features of AEA. Methods:
Total 178 cases of appendicectomy were studied in the department
of Pathology, MIMSR Medical college, Latur. Clinical features, gross
and microscopic features were studied in detail. Results: Out of 178
cases of appendicectomy, 4 were diagnosed as Acute eosinophilic
appendicitis. It included 1 male child, 2 adult males and 1 adult
female. Conclusion: AEA cannot be diagnosed before surgery, hence
Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis of AEA.
Keywords: Appendicitis; Eosinophilic; Histopathology.
