With advancing age, the diameter of the lumen and lymphoid follicles supposedly get reduced. Therefore appendicitis is less common in the elderly population and more common in the young and adolescents. Aim and Objective: To study the micro anatomical features of appendix in terms of presence of luminal diameter and lymphoid tissue in the walls of human vermiform appendix.Methodology: 54 post appendectomy specimens belonging to the age group of 40 __ampersandsignndash; 80 years were utilized for the present study. The specimens were subject to routine histological study Results and Conclusion: The entire specimen (100%) showed histological evidence of presence of lumen and lymphoid tissue contrary to the conventional teaching.
