Colonic cast
Diagnosis in short

Colonic cast. H&E stain. (WC)

LM ischemic colorectal wall (ghost-like crypts without nuclei, muscle without nuclei), mild inflammation
LM DDx infectious colitis
Gross membranous material, fish bladder-like
Site colon

Associated Dx ischemic colitis, atherosclerosis
Clinical history typically post-AAA repair or after colorectal surgery
Prevalence rare
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx fecal material
Treatment see ischemic colitis

Colonic cast, also colon cast, is a soughed off fragment of colonic wall due to colonic ischemia.

General

Gross

  • Membranous appearance; described as airbladder of fish-like.[3]

DDx:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Ischemic colorectal wall.

IHC

  • AE1/AE3, desmin - may be useful to delineate the morphology.
