Diverticular disease-associated colitis is characterized by the presence of features of chronic inflammation such as distortion of the architecture and an increase of inflammatory cells which may be associated with basal plasma cells and even granulomas. The lesions are however limited to the sigmoid and should not be diagnosed as either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. For a precise diagnosis, it is essential to know the site of origin of the biopsy.

Abstract

Diverticular disease-associated colitis is characterized by the presence of features of chronic inflammation such as distortion of the architecture and an increase of inflammatory cells which may be associated with basal plasma cells and even granulomas. The lesions are however limited to the sigmoid and should not be diagnosed as either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. For a precise diagnosis, it is essential to know the site of origin of the biopsy.
