The purpose of this study is to show the  disagreement   between  the

   clinical and pathological diagnosis.

         The hospital records of 150  patients  with  clinical  diagnosis  of  acute

   majority  of them were in 15-24  ages group. The most accurate diagnosis

   was in male group (81%) and in  female  it  was 54.5%. The most acuurate

   diagnosis was in  25 - 34  years   ages   group  and the lowest was in 35-54

   of  acute appendicitis and removed appendix with  acute inflammation,

   that   the  accuracy  of  diagnosis  was  about 79% . The lowest accuracy
