I got emailed the results of my (limited) colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Can anyone help me understand a little further what the results may indicate please? Thanks
SPECIMEN LABELLED:
1) DUODENUM
2) ANTRUM
3) DESCENDING COLON BXS
4) SPLENIC FLEXURE
5) SIGMOID BXS
6) RECTUM
MACROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
1) The specimen consists of three pieces of pale tan tissue ranging from 3mm
to 4mm.
3 NR 3L PIDQC complete
2) The specimen consists of two pieces of pale tan tissue each measuring 5mm.
2 NR 3L HP ABPAS PIDQC complete
3) The specimen consists of four pieces of pale tan tissue ranging from 3mm
to 7mm.
4 NR 3L PIDQC complete
4) The specimen consists of two pieces of pale tan tissue 3mm and 4mm.
2 NR 3L PIDQC complete
5) The specimen consists of four pieces of pale tan tissue ranging from 3mm
to 5mm.
4 NR 3L PIDQC complete
6) The specimen consists of two pieces of pale tan tissue 3mm and 5mm.
2 NR 3L PIDQC complete
Cut by: VC
MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
1) Sections show multiple biopsies of superficial duodenal mucosa. There is
no alteration of the crypt villous ratio. No intraepithelial lymphocytosis,
active inflammation or granulomas are seen. (No evidence of Coeliac
disease). No parasitic organisms are identified.
2) Sections show normal antral mucosa with minimal chronic inflammation
within the lamina propria. There is no intestinal metaplasia. Helicobacter
pylori organisms are not identified.
3) Sections show multiple pieces of large bowel mucosa one of which contains
an area of ulceration. The ulcerated fragment shows chronic active colitis
with expansion of the lamina propria due to large numbers of inflammatory
cells including numerous neutrophils. Cryptitis and crypt abscesses are
identified. The surrounding glands show reactive features. No dysplasia is
seen. No viral inclusions are identified CMV IHC.
4 & 5) Multiple biopsies are of normal large bowel mucosa. There is no
active inflammation, microscopic colitis or granulomas identified. No
dysplasia is seen.
6) Sections show normal rectal mucosa with possible small hyperplastic
polyp. No active inflammation is seen.
DIAGNOSIS:
1) DUODENUM - NORMAL DUODENAL MUCOSA
2) ANTRUM - NORMAL ANTRAL MUCOSA
3) DESCENDING COLON BIOPSY - FOCAL CHRONIC ACTIVE COLITIS WITH ULCERATION
4) SPLENIC FLEXURE - NORMAL LARGE BOWEL MUCOSA
5) SIGMOID BIOPSY - NORMAL LARGE BOWEL MUCOSA
6) RECTUM - NORMAL RECTAL MUCOSA
