Volvulus is a benign colonic pathology.
General
- Uncommonly comes to pathology.
- It is essentially a radiologic diagnosis.
- In the context of autopsy, it is a gross diagnosis.
Gross

RECTOSIGMOID, RESECTION: - MURAL ISCHEMIA WITH PERFORATION, SEROSITIS, MICROABSCESS FORMATION AND POORLY FORMED PSEUDOMEMBRANES. - SUBMUCOSAL FIBROSIS. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: The findings are consistent with volvulus and the submucosal fibrosis suggests this may have been recurrent.
