COLONOSCOPY
Scope advanced up to Terminal Ileum
Findings: Multiple polyps with high vascularity noted from terminal ileum, descending colon to rectum. A mass noted some 15-20cm from anal verge.Multiple biopsies taken from the mass and Rectum for Histopathology. Overall findings are suggestive of Polyposis Coli or CA Rectum
COLONOSCOPY
Colonic Biopsy
GROSS DESCRIPTION:
The specimen is received in formalin coded as "Mass and Rectum". It consists of multiple tan brown tissue fragments measuring 1.2 * 0.3 cm. Entirely submitted in single cassette.
MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
Sections reveal fragments of tissue which exhibit marked inflammation along with cryptitis and crypt abscesses. Granulation tissue with vessels is noted. However, there is no evidence of malignancy in the examined material. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 highlights a normal architecture.
BIOPSY
Marked inflammation along with cryptitis and crypt abscesses. Granulation tissue with vessels and no evidence of malignancy suggests Ulcerative Colitis.
Conclusion
ULCERATIVE COLITIS
DIAGNOSIS
What could be the reason endoscopy found polyps in colon? What are categories of severity in ulcerative colitis and where in does this patient fall? What are the parameter to assess the severity of ulcerative colitis? How did you manage this case? What is the appropriate dose of corticosteroids in a patient with ulcerative colitis? What if mesalamine and corticosteroids do not work in this patient? Which Enzyme abnormality interferes metabolism of Thiopurines? How will you treat ulcerative colitis in pregnancy? How and when should this patient be reassessed through endoscopy for protection from
malignancy? ESR is high and patient is afebrile. What could be the reason? What is the role of Infliximab in ulcerative colitis? What are the extraintestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis? What are extraintestinal manifestations specific to liver? What are the complications of severe disease? How will you diagnose Toxic Megacolon and what is the management? How will you monitor disease activity? Which antibodies can be detected in patient with ulcerative colitis? Which corticosteroid is the most appropriate in patient with ulcerative colitis? What are the indications of Colectomy?
