Diverticula of the vermiform appendix: a report of nine cases

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Summary The incidence, clinical features and pathology of nine cases of diverticula of the appendix in Malaysians are reported. The findings are discussed and compared with those previously reported. The pathogenesis of the lesion in eight cases is unknown. The rare association of lumenal obstruction by a carcinoid tumour and diverticulum formation in the appendix is seen in one case.
