  • Title: [Pathology of the cecal appendix in our country. An analysis of 936 surgical specimens of appendectomy].
    Author: Ross E, Ruiz ME.
    Journal: G E N; 1995; 49(2):140-4. PubMed ID: 8566685.
    Abstract:
    Analysis was made of 436 specimens of appendectomy in the Caracas University Hospital during the year 1.990. Ages of the patients ranged between 9 months and 79 years (average age: 21 years). 236 were males and 200 females. The pathology found most frequently was the acute inflammatory processes, followed by secondary reactive changes to other entities, many of which were unspecified (e.g. pelvic inflammatory disease) and other specific (such as infestation by parasites) less frequently were found tumoral processes such as mucocele, carcinoid tumor and those which involved another portion of the digestive apparatus and which secondarily affect the appendix.
