The biopsy shows abundant intraepithelial lymphocytes with a preserved crypt architecture. No thick subepithelial band of collagen is present. No granulomas are identified. The main histomorphologic differential diagnoses include resolving infection and early inflammatory bowel disease. | The biopsy shows abundant intraepithelial lymphocytes with a preserved crypt architecture.

COLON, BIOPSY: | |||
- ONE ISOLATED CRYPT ABSCESS, ON THE BACKGROUND OF COLONIC MUCOSA WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT | |||
PATHOLOGY, SEE COMMENT. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR LYMPHOCYTIC COLITIS AND NEGATIVE FOR COLLAGENOUS COLITIS. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The significance of the crypt abscess is unknown, as the background colon is not | |||
significantly inflamed. A definite cryptitis elsewhere is not identified. Architectural | |||
changes are not apparent. Clinical correlation is suggested. | |||
