SMALL BOWEL, RESECTION AND NEW ANASTOMOSIS:
- LARGE BOWEL WITH POST-SURGICAL CHANGES, NEGATIVE FOR ACTIVE INFLAMMATION.
- SMALL BOWEL WITH FOCAL MUCOSA EROSIONS -- FAVOUR REACTIVE, SEE COMMENT.
- SKIN WITH REACTIVE CHANGES.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA.
COMMENT:
The small bowel section focally shows erosions at the tips of the villi close to the
interface with the skin; this is favoured to be a mechanical phenomenon. The small bowel
more distant from the small bowel-skin junction shows no active inflammation.
One foreign body-type granuloma is present. No other granulomata are identified.
The bowel shows increased eosinophils and intraepithelial lymphocytes, and basal
plasmacytosis compatible with a chronic inflammatory process.
