    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Metaplastic changes are common in various gastrointestinal tissues.
    • The appendix mucosa has not been previously characterized for metaplastic foci.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the occurrence and morphology of metaplastic foci in the appendix mucosa.
    • To determine the prevalence of these foci in appendicectomy specimens.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of 100 consecutive appendicectomy specimens.
    • Identification and characterization of metaplastic changes in the appendix mucosa.

    Main Results:

    • Eight cases of metaplastic foci in the appendix mucosa were identified.
    • Two of these cases were found within a series of 100 consecutive appendicectomies, suggesting a potential prevalence.

    Conclusions:

    • Metaplastic foci represent a previously undescribed finding in the appendix mucosa.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the implications and prevalence of these appendiceal metaplastic changes.
