We report a retrospective study of 623 resected vermiform appendices from patients operated on for clinical acute appendicitis at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Males represented 63.2% of the cases. Peak incidence was 21 to 30 years of age. In 75.4% of cases, histological examination confirmed the presence of acute appendicitis. No significant pathological finding was present in 19.4% of the specimens. The remaining 5.2% of cases showed a spectrum of diseases including diverticulosis, benign and malignant neoplasms, and parasitic infections. The parasitic infections included schistosomiasis, enterobiasis, and amebiasis. Women had a significantly higher percentage of histologically normal appendices than men. We conclude that the vermiform appendix may be the site of clinically unsuspected findings, may be resected inappropriately especially in females in the reproductive age group, and may be symptomatic in the two extremes of age |
