Colonic cast, also colon cast, is a soughed off fragment of colonic wall due to colonic ischemia.
General
- Rare.
- Due to colonic ischemia.[1]
- Typically post-AAA repair or after colorectal surgery.[2]
Gross
- Membranous appearance; described as airbladder of fish-like.[3]
DDx:
Microscopic
Features:
- Ischemic colorectal wall.
Images
CC - extremely low mag. (WC)
CC - very low mag. (WC)
CC - low mag. (WC)
CC - intermed. mag. (WC)
IHC
- AE1/AE3, desmin - may be useful to delineate the morphology.
Sign out
Submitted as "Colonic Cast": - Compatible with colorectal cast (necrotic partial colorectal wall with identifiable mucosa and submucosa). - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
