title: Histomorphological study of lymphoid follicle of vermiform appendix.
abstract: The study was done to find out the number of lymphoid follicle of vermiform appendix in Bangladeshi people and to increase the knowledge regarding variational anatomy in our population. Total 40 fresh appendixes were collected for histological study of different age and sex during postmortem examination in the autopsy laboratory of Forensic department of Mymensingh Medical College. This cross sectional descriptive study was done by convenient sampling technique. For convenience of differentiating the number of lymphoid follicle of vermiform appendix in relation to age and sex, findings were classified in four groups, up to 20 years, 21 to 35 years, 36 to 55 years and 56 to 70 years. In the present study the number of lymphoid follicle were highest in group A, mean were (5.40+/-1.30) and lowest in group D where mean were (1.05+/-0.35). In male mean were 3.16 and in female mean were 2.86. Diameter of the lymphoid follicle in group A was highest (40.14+/-2.66) and lowest in group D (0.24+/-1.35). Number of germinal centre are highest in group B (2.20 +/- 0.45) and lowest in group D (0.00 +/- 0.00).
