Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency all over the world. The incidence in developing countries is increasing due to change in life style and behaviour. Histopathological examination (HPE) remains the gold standard for diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The article describes a study conducted in a teaching hospital in Kolkata . The aim of this study was to look for the correlation between clinical and histopathological diagnoses of acute appendicitis, if any, and to evaluate the utility of HPE of the resected specimensof appendixes.
