| description | The Analysis Of Routinely Performed Histopathological
Examination In Tonsillectomies Indicated By Chronic Tonsillitis
The objective of this study was to see the outcome of sending
routine specimen for histopathological examination in term of
final diagnosis and incidental findings.
This was an observational prospective study whereby 197
patients who had undergone tonsillectomy between August 2005
to January 2007 were recruited. Malignant suspicion cases were
excluded. All of the operations were performed with conventional
dissection method at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. All
specimens were sent for histopathological examination as
routinely performed.
All of the studied specimens showed reactive lymphoid
hyperplasia changes. No specimen noted to be malignant.
Actinomyces colonies were common incidental findings.
CONCLUSION : This study concluded that the clinical diagnosis was no different
with the histopathological result. The examination should not be
performed as a routine procedure unless if there was any
malignant suspicion or for medicolegal purposes. |
