New structural aspects on pathologic appendix versus normal appendix
Abstract
Appendix pathology brings together different forms and is found in different age segments. Most susceptible to disease are children. In this context, the children and young people Appendix pathology may be complicated or can be accompanied by damage to adjacent organs, located in the abdominal cavity.
This morphological study presents the structural aspects of normal appendix and the ulcerated appendicitis. For observation of structural aspects, has been used classic stainings. It also shows the appendix using immunohistochemical technique.
