BIOPSY APPENDIX

The Appendix Biopsy is a histopathological examination of tissue extracted from the appendix, usually after an appendectomy (surgical removal of the appendix). The test helps in diagnosing conditions such as acute or chronic appendicitis, appendiceal tumors, carcinoid tumors, mucinous neoplasms, and infections. Pathologists examine the tissue under a microscope to check for inflammation, infection, cancer, or abnormal cell growth.
