The purpse of the study was to analyze the content of the mucous infiltrate of cells of the lamina propria of the appendix using immunohistochemical analysis in patients with acute phlegmonous appendicitis. The research included 21 patients with acute phlegmonous appendicitis. The control group consisted of 15 persons lacking the inflammation of the intraperitoneal cavity. Primary monoclonal (MC) antibodies (AB) of the mouse used in the immunohistochemical (IHC) research included the following: Ki-67, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20, CD45, CD45R0, and CD68 (DAKO, Denmark), as well as EnVision+ System-HRP (DAB) optical system. The research has shown that acute phlegmonous appendicitis is characterized by statistically reliable increased infiltration (p<0.001) by B-lymphocytes (CD20), memory T-cells (CD45R0), Ki-67+ cells, macrophages (CD68), T-lymphocytes (CD3), T-helper cells (CD4), cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CD8), and CD45 cells of the lamina propria of the appendix when compared with the control group. Development of acute phlegmonous appendicitis is characterized by enhance infiltration of the lamina propria by B-lymphocytes (CD20), macrophages (CD68), memory T-cells, and high proliferation activity of the mononuclear cells (Ki-67 index).

Background And Objectives: Securing the base of the appendix is the most critical part of laparoscopic appendectomy in children. Determining the average values of the appendix, will facilitate the creation of suitable instruments, and will also have an impact on research in imaging studies.
Methods: One hundred and eight patients with the acute appendicitis were randomized into 2 groups: group I: children aged 2-10 years old, group II: children >10 years of age.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland (PALG) is a benign neoplasm typically presenting with gradual, painless globe displacement and/or lid swelling. We report an atypical case of PALG in a 53-year old male presenting acutely, mimicking orbital cellulitis. Imaging demonstrated an extraconal rim-enhancing soft-tissue lesion medial to the left lacrimal gland, involving superior rectus and levator palpebrae superioris.

Unlabelled: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most frequent cause of acute surgical abdomen in pediatrics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown slowed surgical processes, delaying medical consultations.
Objective: To analyze the impact of the pandemic on the presentation and management of acute appendicitis.

Background: Perforation is one of the rarest effects of Meckel's diverticulum and may clinically resemble acute appendicitis.
Case Report: A 34-year-old woman with pain in the right iliac fossa, nausea, and vomiting for three days was brought to the emergency department. An abdominal examination indicated rebound tenderness in the area of the right iliac fossa.
