Owing to the characteristic Warthin-Finkeldey giant cells found in hyperplastic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, it has been emphasized that pathologists can make a diagnosis of measles from appendectomy specimens even in the prodromal stage before diagnostic rashes develop. However, to date, those reported cases of measles-related appendicitis have dealt with the histologic features of the prodromal stage and we found no reports in the English literature describing the histopathologic findings of appendicitis during the full-blown stage of measles. Here, we describe 2 cases of measles-related appendicitis that show contrasting histologic features according to stage, one discovered during the prodromal stage and the other occurring during the full-blown stage.

We present a case of "Measles Appendicitis" treated recently in our unit. We point out the lack of bibliographic references on this pathology, despite its relatively high rate of incidence. The possible coexistence of appendicitis and measles; along with the possibility of a bacterial superinfection of the obliterated appendix due to submucous lymphoid hyperplasia, in our opinion, justifies an initial surgical approach in patients with measles who suffer from bouts of diagnostically uncertain pain in the lower right abdomen.
