Abstract:- Background :Granulomatous appendicitis is an extremely rare entity and its etiology is still unknown. It is a diagnosis by exclusion. Method:Appendix specimen was received in our department histopathology laboratory, processing was done by taking sections like horizontal and one transverse section from the tip of the appendix. Then processed in histokinette, sections of 4 – 5 microns were taken by microtome and stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin. Results : Microscopically showed non-caseating granulomas in the wall of the appendix, stain for AFB was negative and was reported as Granulomatous Appendicitis. Conclusion:Isolated Granulomatous inflammation of the appendix is very uncommon and rare entity. This should be carefully evaluated histologically as it may be misinterpreted as Crohn’s disease.
