Pathological changes in the appendix: a review of 1000 cases.

The pathological changes occurring in a series of 1000 consecutive appendicectomies are reviewed. Normal appendix was diagnosed in 14% of cases, while 561 (56%) exhibited acute appendicitis; 53 (5%) had chronic inflammatory infiltrate associated with obliteration of the lumen of the tip of the appendix. Epithelial abnormalities included carcinoid tumours (1.4%), and primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma (1 case). There were a large variety of other abnormalities found and each one is briefly described.

Spermatocytic seminoma.

A case of spermatocytic seminoma is described. The lesion illustrates the characteristic macroscopic and microscopic pathology of this relatively rare tumour, and is the largest recorded example. The long history of 15 years draws attention to the slow growth pattern and excellent prognosis. Chromosomal analysis, hitherto undescribed for spermatocytic seminoma, reveals moderate aneuploidy of tumour cells.
