Core Tip
Core Tip: This is a retrospective single-center observational study to investigate clinical and pathological characteristics of schistosomal appendicitis. Schistosomal appendicitis is a serious disease, which is easy to be complicated with intestinal malignant tumors. Schistosomal appendicitis has no specific clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, and the prognosis may be poor. It is more likely to be misdiagnosed and missed diagnosis in clinical work. Although chronic schistosomiasis has decreased year by year, the proportion of schistosomal appendicitis has not decreased in the past decade.
