Background. Retrospectively evaluation of several patients who had undergone appendectomy in our hospital was carried out which aimed to present the efciency of diagnostic tests and demographic data of cases. Available pathological reports were interpreted for the following parameters: age, gender, and pathological diagnosis. In addition, the demographic information and clinicopathologic characteristics of the subjects with unusual histopathologic ndings were assessed in detail, and re-examination of the available resected appendix specimens was done. Methods Inpatient records of the patients who had been operated for acute appendicitis in the hospital associated with Khaja Bandanawaz University – Faculty of medical Sciences; from January 2018 to November 2022, were retrospectively evaluated. Results Subjects were categorized into 2 groups. Cases with histopathologic examination reported as acute appendicitis constituted group-1, and cases with unusual pathologic ndings other than acute appendicitis constituted group-2. The group-2 consisted of low-grade mucinous neoplasms, mucoceles, carcinoid tumor, granulomatous inammation, intraluminal Enterobius vermicularis, and mesenteric cyst. Conclusion Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency condition in the department of General Surgery. Most of the resected specimens of appendectomy revealed typical histopathologic ndings, few showed unusual histopathologic ndings. We suggest routine histopathological examination even if the macroscopic appearance of the specimen is normal.
