One hundred retrospective appendectomy specimens were examined in an attempt to study the degree of uniformity and clarity of reporting of this common surgical specimen. There was full agreement in 73 cases and some degree of discrepancy in 27 cases. It is suggested that greater clarity in reporting can be achieved with five reporting categories: (i) established acute inflammation; (ii) no evidence of acute inflammation ("normal"); (iii) features suggestive of early inflammation; (iv) peri-appendicitis; (v) other features, such as granulomata, Enterobius vermicularis, tumours, etc.
为研究这种常见手术标本报告的一致性和清晰度,对100例阑尾切除术的回顾性标本进行了检查。73例完全一致,27例存在某种程度的差异。建议通过五个报告类别实现更高的报告清晰度:(i)确诊急性炎症;(ii)无急性炎症证据(“正常”);(iii)提示早期炎症的特征;(iv)阑尾周围炎;(v)其他特征,如肉芽肿、蛲虫、肿瘤等。
