===Biopsy with possible ''diverticular disease-associated colitis''=== | |||
<pre> | |||
The endoscopy report describes diverticular disease. The general differential diagnosis for histologic colitis (infection, inflammatory conditions, ischemia, iatrogenic causes) should be considered. | |||
Inflammation restricted to areas with diverticular disease may be "diverticular disease-associated colitis". Clinical correlation is required. | |||
