Abstract

Purpose: Acute appedicitis is the most common cause of surgery due to acute abdomen. Rarely diagnoses of malignancy are given after acute appendectomy. We aimed to investigate pathology reports of the patients with a prediagnosis of acute appendicitis underwent appendectomy retrospectively. Methods: The pathology reports and the appendectomy materials of 1829 patients with a prediagnosis of acute appendicitis underwent appendectomy between 2008 January and 2014 November were evaluated retrospectively Results: The male/female ratio of the patients was 1,28 in the study. The mean age of the patients was 27,9±16,7 years (range 2 months-91 years). The age range in which acute appendicitis is mostly observed 20-29 years of age. The histopathological examination revealed that 71,3% of the cases were given the diagnosis of acute appendicitis while 1,2% of them appendiceal neoplasia. The negative diagnosis was given in 497 cases. The negativity ratio was 25,9% in adult cases while it was 30,5% in pediatric cases. There was no statistically significant difference between gender with respect to presence of appendiceal neoplasia (p=0,288). Incidentally rare pathologies were observed in 1,6% of appendectomy materials and ın 22 cases (1,2%) neoplastic lesions detected. Conclusions: Histopathological examination of the appendix specimens of the patients who underwent appendectomy with a prediagnosis of acute appendicitis is very important because of incidentally diagnosis of benign or malignant tumors.

Özet

Amaç: Akut apandisit en sık acil operasyon gerektiren akut batın nedenidir. Akut apandisit nedeni ile yapılan apendektomilerde nadirde olsa tümörlere rastlanır. Bu çalışmada amacımız akut apandisit ön tanısı ile yapılan apendektomilerde saptanan patolojileri geriye dönük olarak incelemektir. Gereç-yöntem: Ocak 2008- Kasım 2014 tarihleri arasında akut apandisit ön tanısı ile ameliyat edilen ve apendektomi materyalleri incelenen 1829 olgunun patoloji raporu geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Olguların yaş, cinsiyet ve patolojik tanıları kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen olguların erkek/kadın oranı 1,28 olarak saptandı. Yaş dağılımları 2 ay ile 91 yaş arasında değişmekte idi. Akut apandisitin en sık izlendiği yaş aralığı 20-29 yıl olarak bulundu. Olgular histopatolojik olarak incelendiğinde, olguların % 71,3'ü akut apandisit tanısı alırken % 1,2'i apendiks neoplazisi tanısı almıştı. Negatif tanı alan olguların sayısı 497 idi. Yetişkin olgularda bu oran %25,9 iken çocuk olgularda %30,5 olarak gözlendi. Apendektomi materyallerinin %1,6'sında insidental olarak nadir görülen patolojiler izlendi. Nadir görülen patolojiler içerisinde 22 olguda (%1,2) neoplastik lezyon saptandı. Kadın ve erkek olgular hastalıkları açısından karşılaştırıldığında apendiks neoplazisi gelişimi açısından farklılık izlenmedi (p=0,288). Sonuç: Akut apandisit ön tanısı ile apendektomi uygulanan olguların apendiks materyallerinin histopatolojik olarak incelenmesi insidental olarak benign veya malign tümörleri tespit edilebileceğinden dolayı oldukça önemlidir.
