[Neurogenic appendicopathy - an immunocytochemical study].

H Höfler, P U Heitz

    Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift
    |November 12, 1982

    Summary

    Neurogenic appendicopathy, a common non-purulent appendicitis, involves nerve and endocrine cell proliferation. This study suggests appendix carcinoids may arise from these subepithelial stromal endocrine cells, independent of the epithelial layer.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology
    • Neuroscience

    Context:

    • Neurogenic appendicopathy is a prevalent non-purulent form of appendicitis.
    • Microscopic analysis reveals distinct intramucosal and submucosal variants.
    • Nerve proliferation is a key feature, independent of specific neurotransmitters.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the cellular and molecular basis of neurogenic appendicopathy.
    • To differentiate variants of neurogenic appendicopathy using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.
    • To explore the origin of appendix carcinoids in relation to neurogenic appendicopathy.

    Summary:

    • Immunostaining for neuron-specific enolase visualized all nerves in the gut wall.
    • Proliferation of nerve fibers expressing substance P and VIP was noted in specific variants.
    • An increase in stromal endocrine cells with specific immunoreactivity suggests their role in carcinoid formation.

    Impact:

    • This research proposes a novel origin for appendix carcinoids from subepithelial stromal endocrine cells.
    • The findings suggest a multicentric origin for carcinoids within proliferating nerve fibers.
    • Understanding neurogenic appendicopathy may offer new insights into gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
