Diversion colitis is colitis due to a diversion, i.e. a stoma. Diversion proctitis redirects here.

General

  • Segment of de-functioned bowel due to surgical diversion, i.e. stoma (ileostomy or colostomy).
  • Diagnosis dependent on history - key point.

Gross

Features:[1]

  • Ulceration - classic.
  • Surgical changes, e.g. fibrotic-appearing thickened wall.
    • May not be apparent.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia - key feature.[2]
    • Abundant lymphoid nodules.
  • Plasma cells and lymphocytes.
  • +/-Changes of an active colitis - uncommon:[3]
    • Cryptitis.
    • Crypt abscesses.

Notes:

  • May show IBD-like changes.[4]
    • IBD should not be diagnosed on a diverted segment of bowel.

SIGMOID COLON, BIOPSIES:
- MILD ACTIVE COLITIS WITH LAMINA PROPRIA FIBROSIS, SEE COMMENT.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA.

COMMENT:
No granulomas are identified.  Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia is not identified;
however, there is no definite submucosa present.

Diverted segments of bowel can have inflammatory bowel disease-like changes.

In the context of a diverted segment of bowel, the findings are compatible with
a diversion colitis.
RECTUM, BIOPSY:
- CHRONIC ACTIVE PROCTITIS WITH FOCAL ULCERATION, CRYPTITIS AND CRYPT ABSCESSES.
- GRANULATION TISSUE.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA.

COMMENT:
No lymphoid hyperplasia is present. A small lymphoid aggregate is present.
Architectural distortion is present.

In the context of a diverted segment of bowel, the findings are compatible with
a diversion colitis.
