Abstract

Granulomatous appendicitis (GA) is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the appendix. We report a pediatric patient with GA in which symptoms resolved after appendectomy. Although the colon was grossly normal by endoscopy, microscopic examination revealed colitis without granuloma formation. GA may represent a variant of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

摘要

肉芽肿性阑尾炎（GA）是一种影响阑尾的罕见炎症性疾病。我们报告了一名患有GA的儿科患者，其症状在阑尾切除术后得到缓解。尽管通过内镜检查结肠大体正常，但显微镜检查显示存在无肉芽肿形成的结肠炎。GA可能代表炎症性肠病（IBD）的一种变体。
