Pathogenesis: Initial appendiceal inflammation → edema & exudate Local perforation or leak → contamination Greater omentum + bowel loops wall off infection → phlegmon formation If pus collects → appendicular abscess Prevents generalized peritonitis (protective mechanism)
Make a image of this pathogenesis of appendicular mass to explain in my seminar
