“…These findings correlate with the study done by Blair et al 11 and Edino et al 12 The present study reported 7.15% cases of acute suppurative appendicitis which is similar to the study by Sujatha R et al, which reported 6.5%. 15 However, the study by Edino ST et al reported 14.1% cases. 12 In this study gangrenous appendicitis was reported in 16 cases (6.36%).…”

Background: Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of the acute abdomen that demands emergency surgical intervention. It is a clinical condition that is frequently encountered as a diagnostic challenge. Sometimes grossly normal-appearing appendix, removed from patients with suspected acute appendicitis, on histopathological examination may reveal a more serious underlying pathology. Hence, histopathological studies form the gold standard for the diagnosis of appendicitis. Aim: To study the histopathological patterns of appendicitis in patients who underwent appendectomy. Methods: This study was carried out in the department of Pathology, Jahurul Islam Medical College, Bajitpur, Kishoreganj from January 2020 to December 2020. All the appendectomy specimens were received in 10% formalin as fixative. Sections obtained were studied to determine various histopathological patterns in appendectomy specimens. Results: A total of 252 specimens were undertaken for histopathological examination. There were 154 (61.1%) males and 98 (38.1%) females with male to female ratio of 1.6:1. The most common lesion observed was acute appendicitis (51.98%) followed by recurrent appendicitis (28.17%), acute suppurative appendicitis (07.15%), gangrenous appendicitis (06.36%), eosinophilic appendicitis (02.38%), follicular lymphoid hyperplasia (02.38%), mucinous adenoma (0.40%) and mucinous adenocarcinoma (02.38%). Conclusion: Most of the cases in this study were diagnosed with the usual features of appendicitis, though a few of them were incidental diagnoses that were missed clinically. These important incidental diagnoses undisputedly support the notion that every appendectomy specimen must be sent routinely for histopathological examination. Mediscope 2023;10(1): 17-21

Actinomycosis is an invasive and suppurative anaerobic infection, which can develop in the pelvis. This occurs most commonly as a result of prolonged use of an intrauterine device. The constellation of signs and symptoms associated with its typical clinical presentation include palpable mass, weight loss and malaise. It can be misdiagnosed as a result and often as a malignant process. Left unrecognised, pelvic actinomycosis can lead to sequelae such as severe abscess, fistula formation and even infertility. Removal of the intrauterine device and a prolonged course (6–12 months) of antibiotic treatment form the cornerstone of management. Surgery can be required in select cases. This article provides an overview of pelvic actinomycosis, including its background, presentation, investigations and management.
