==Ileitis==
*Abbreviated ''SBO''.
:''Active ileitis'' and ''acute ileitis'' redirect here.
:This section gives an overview of SBOs. Its primary focus is benign causes of SBO that have nonspecific pathologic findings. Specific causes definitively identified by pathology, e.g. [[adenocarcinoma]], are dealt with separately.
:This deals with nonspecific ileitis.
===General===
===General===
*Radiologic/[[clinical diagnosis]].
*Common.
 
The usual causes of bowel obstruction (large & small) are (mnemonic) ''SHAVING'':
*Strictures (think [[IBD]]).
*Hernias.
*Adhesions.
*[[Volvulus]].
*Intussusception.
*Neoplasia.
*Gallstone ileus.
 
The top three are:<ref>URL: [http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic66.htm http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic66.htm]. Accessed on: 19 April 2011.</ref><ref>{{Ref TN2007 |GS21}}</ref>
* Adhesions > hernias > neoplasms.
 
In the context of bowel obstructions and IBD, pathologists often see resected [[stoma]]s (that were put in place emergently).  These specimens are usually fairly straight forward.
 
===Radiology===
*Air-fluid levels.
 
===Gross===
*+/-Adhesions.
*+/-Bowel contorted.
*+/-Luminal narrowing +/-proximal dilation.
*+/-Serosal exudate.
**Suggestive of perforation.

Features:
*+/-Adhesions (serosal).
*Intraepithelial [[neutrophil]]s.
**Dense fibrous tissue replaces the adipose tissue.
**+/-Increased vascularity.
*+/-Submucosal fibrosis.
*+/-[[Serositis]] - seen in small bowel perforation.
*+/-Foreign body-type granuloma - due to previous surgical intervention.

*Small bowel [[adenocarcinoma]] - most important differential diagnosis.
*[[Crohn's disease]].
*Metastatic adenocarcinoma - classically on the serosal aspect.
*Infectious ileitis.
*[[Signet ring cell carcinoma]].
**[[Tuberculosis]].
*Benign ileum - may have focal intra-epithelial lymphocytes associated with lamina propria lymphoid nodules.

SMALL BOWEL, RESECTION:
Terminal Ileum, Biopsy:
- SMALL BOWEL WITH FIBROUS ADHESIONS (EXTENSIVE) ASSOCIATED WITH FOCAL LUMINAL

Comment:
SMALL BOWEL, RESECTION:
The inflammation is nonspecific; it could be due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease (especially Crohn's disease), ischemia, or therapy/drugs. Clinical correlation is required.
- SMALL BOWEL WITH FIBROUS ADHESIONS (EXTENSIVE), FOCAL LUMINAL NARROWING AND A
  FOREIGN BODY-TYPE GRANULOMA.

**Remnant of the ''omphalomesenteric duct'' - a connection of the yolk sac and midgut.
 
The rule of 2s:
*2 feet from the terminal ileum
*2% of the population
*2% symptomatic.
*2 inches long.
*2 year old.
*2 types of epithelium - gastric and pancreatic.
