title: [What is appendicitis? Anatomopathological notions].
abstract: Appendices removed for acute abdominal syndrome have various pathological aspects. In most cases one finds acute inflammatory lesions with a varying degree of penetration into the appendicular wall, but chronic lesions or a quasi-normality which do not explain the symptoms are sometimes observed. Peculiar findings, such as parasites, recognizable infective agents or even tumoral proliferations detected by the inflammatory syndrome can be discovered.
