"SMALL BOWEL", RESECTION AND NEW ANASTOMOSIS: | |||
- SMALL BOWEL WITH FOCAL MUCOSA EROSIONS -- FAVOUR MECHANICAL, SEE COMMENT. | |||
- LARGE BOWEL WITH POST-SURGICAL CHANGES, NEGATIVE FOR ACTIVE INFLAMMATION. | |||
- 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. | |||
