6. Appendicitis Definition :- Inflammation of appendix ( either acute or chronic) Etiology :- Predisposed by:- 1-Obstruction of its lumen or hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles. 2- Fibrosis of the wall Excited by infection with Strep.E.coli or staph. Pathology :- 1-Acute catarrhal appendicitis (edema,congestion ,serous fluid) 2-Acute suppurative appendicitis(filled by pus) 3-Acute gangrenous appendicitis(black in colour and offensive). Complications :- 1-Perforation septic peritonitis (diffuse or localized) 2-Appendicular mass :- Fibrosis and adhesion with intestine and omentum 3-Appendicular abscess 4-Sinus & fistula 5-Portal pyemia
7. Pathology :- Gross picture Comment -The appendix slightly enlarged ,congested and edematous . -The lumens are filled by inflammatory exudate -The serosa show dark spots of hemorrhages Diagnosis: Acute suppurative appendicitis.
40. Slide (12) Adenoma Definition :- A benign tumor of endocrine and exocrine glands and mucosal glands of GIT and endometrium. Gross picture :- A well –defined capsulated ovoid mass cut section : solid ,cystic or papillary cystic Microscopic picture :- Proliferated glands lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelium separated by a dense fibro-vascular connective tissue stroma (colon adenoma )
47. Origin : arise from the fibrous tissue. Sites: Fibrous tissue stroma of organs (breast ,ovary and kidney) , intermuscular septa, submucosa, Grossly: capsulated, oval, soft (cellular) to hard and Cut section :- Whorly bundles grayish white (hard) or pinkish –white(cellular) in colour . Microscopically: bundles of mature fibroblasts, collagenous tissue, and few capillaries. If excess collagen hard fibroma, if excess fibroblasts soft fibroma. Types: - Pure fibroma.-Mixed fibroma, with glands fibroadenoma, with muscles fibromyoma Slide (14) : Fibroma

50. Slide (14) : Leiomyoma Origin: from smooth muscles. Sites: uterus is the most common (fibroid) GIT, bladder. Grossly: non capsulated (false capsule) , single or multiple, rounded, firm . C.S whorled pattern, composed of pinkish and whitish interlaced bundles . Microscopically: interlacing bundles of smooth muscle fibers separated by fibrovascular stroma.
