The average age was 53.2 years and the extremes were from 6 years to 86 years. The male sex represented 27 patients or 60% with a sex ratio of 1.5. Abdominal pain and fever were the reasons for consultation in all our patients and the clinical diagnosis of appendicitis was made in 20 patients or 44%. Luberkunian adenocarcinoma was histologically evoked in 15 cases, i.e. 33.33%, and benign behavior was visualized in 25 patients, i.e. 56%. Conclusion: The anatomopathological examination constitutes a means of evaluation of the lesion assessment but also of the etiological diagnosis.
