Appendicectomy specimens from suspected acute appendicitis often appear macroscopically normal histological analysis reveal more sinister underlying pathology. A three year study was performed determine incidence of various non-neoplastic neoplastic lesions appendix. To histopathology It retrospective for period years at Tertiary care hospital. histopathological reports clinical details were collected slides reviewed evaluated. Special stains used wherever required. included 1092 cases commonest lesion chronic non-specific (48.27%) followed by with (47.80%). Other non found fibrous obliteration (2.10%), Enterobius vermicularis infestation (0.83), tuberculosis (0.18), xanthogranulomatous (0.09%) amoebic (0.09%). Neoplastic seen low grade mucinous neoplasm (0.18) serrated adenoma (0.09). Chronic appendiceal lesion. clinically present as or histology reveals true nature hence remains gold standard method.
