Diverticular disease, also diverticulosis, is a common disease of the colon. Inflammation of diverticula is known as diverticulitis.
General
- Very common.
- Typically seen in elderly patients - 50s and 60s.
Complications:
- Diverticulitis.
- Diverticular-associated colitis[1] - rare.
- Rectal biopsy to differentiate from ulcerative colitis.
Gross
- Corrugated - like cardboard.
- Wall thickening (reactive).[2]

Grossing notes
Microscopic
Features:
- Mucosa/submucosa invagination into the musuclaris propria (MP).
- At the site the blood vessels supplying the mucosa and submucosa penetrate the MP.[3]
