The content were fecal material 322 cases (90.2%), fibrous obliteration 22 cases (6.2%) and no material 13 cases (3.6%), respectively. The average diameter was 0.62 cm (rang 0.3-1 cm). The average length was 7.6 cm (rang 3-16 cm). Pelvic position was the predominant position 283 cases (79.3%), followed by retrocecal 48 cases (13.4%), post-ileal 25 cases (7%) and pre-ileal 1 case (0.3%), respectively. Results: The results showed total 257 autopsy cases. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine variations of the position, length, diameter, content, histopathology and mesoappendix in autopsy cases and to comparison these parameters between sex and age groups. Failure to reach the appendiceal tip of mesoappendix may result in appendiceal gangrene and perforation during inflammation. Mesoappendix is a triangular-shape fat connecting the ileal mesentery and appendix. The base is connected to the cecum, while the distal part is variable. Normally, the appendix is located in right lower abdominal cavity. Atypical presentation may be related to the position of the appendix. Some patients have atypical symptoms and physical findings that may lead to a delay in diagnosis and increased complications. Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common diseases that needs emergency surgery.
