22
Q

common site of crohn

A

terminal ileum, ileocecal valve, cecum

has skip lesions

early lesion - aphthous ulcer

23
Q

crohn histo

A

crypt abscess - with PMNs

mucosal damage

ulceration

transmural

fissure formation

noncaseating granulomas

24
Q

crohn clinical

A

episodic

mild diarrhea, fever, abdomen pain, weight loss

chronic life long course

fistula - bad

clubbing of fingertips

risk for GI ca - 5-6x

erythema nodosum - shins
-inflammation of fat cells under skin

25
Q

ulcerative colitis

A

inflammation of colon - mucosa and submucosa

continuous spread proximal from rectum

primary sclerosing cholangitis

26
Q

UC epidemiology

A

white, female, 20-25yo, smoking may relieve symptoms**

27
Q

UC clinical

A

relapsing - bloody mucoid diarrhea

-cramping, abdominal pain

at least 1 relapse in 10 years

risk for adenocarcinoma of colon

tx - colectomy

28
Q

UC pathology

A

continuous - no skip areas
entire colon - pancolitis

ulcerations - pseudopolyps
-chronic

toxic megacolon

29
Q

UC morph

A

rectum

  • goes proximal
  • pancolitis
  • broad-based ulcers
  • regenerating mucosa - pseudopolyps

-normal serosa

no granulomas

30
Q

microscopic colitis

A

collagenous - old women
lymphocytic - older male and female (assocaited with celiac)

chronic watery diarrhea - 3-20x/day

benign - usually resolves

31
Q

diverticular disease

A

diverticulosis - and if inflamed - diverticulitis

focal weakness in wall - high pressure - form outpouchings

tx - high fiver diet

32
Q

false diverticula

A

acquired - most common sigmoid colon

33
Q

bleeding of diverticuli

A

often stops on own

34
Q

second most common killer in US

A

tumors of colon

majority old age - 50+ yo

35
Q

small elevation of mucosa

A

sessile

36
Q

growth with a stalk

A

pedunculated

core with vessels and lymphatics

easily removed

37
Q

most common neoplastic polyp

A

adenoma

-potential to progress to cancer

38
Q

hamartomatous polyp

A

almost always pednuculated

juvenile and peutz-jeghers
-non-neoplastic

39
Q

adenoma

A

majority sessile

40
Q

non-neoplastic polyps

A

inflammatory
hyperplastic
hamartomatous
lymphoid

41
Q

inflammatory polyp

A

non-neoplastic
-chronic IBD - often UC

part of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome

42
Q

solitary rectal ulcer syndrome

A

inflammatory lesion
-rectal bleeding, mucous discharge, inflammation lesion of anterior rectal wall

impaired relaxation of anorectal sphincter - abrasion and ulceration

mucosal prolapse can occur

fibromuscular hyperplasia

43
Q

hyperplastic polyp

A

non-neoplastic

sessile

most common polyp

majority 50yo

44
Q

strain with stooling

A

push against anterior rectum/anus - mucosa prolapse that becomes inflamed

solitary rectal ulcer syndrome - inflammatory polyp

anterior**

45
Q

serrated, saw tooth glands in polyp

A

hyperplastic polyp

non-neoplastic

no malignant potential

must distinguish from serrated adenoma**

46
Q

peutz jeghers syndrome

A

hamartomatous polyp

age 10-15

mutation in STK11 - AMP kinase related pathway

risk of colonic adenocarcinoma

47
Q

juvenile polyposis

A

hamartomatous polyp

less than age 5 SMAD4, BMPR1A TGF-beta signaling mutations

risk of gastric small intestinal, colonic, and pancreatic carcinoma

association with congenital malformations

48
Q

familial adenomatous polyposis mutation

A

APC

49
Q

hamartomatous polyps of stomach, small intestine, colorectum that are like juvenile polyps with cystic crypt dilatation and lamina propria edema and inflammation

A

cronkhite-canada syndrome

nonhereditary - individuals over 50yo get it

often die**

50
Q

juvenile polyp

A

retention polyp

  • young <5yo
  • pedunculated
  • rectum
  • bleeding occurs
  • sporadic solitary majority
  • auto dom - many polyps - this group has risk of cancer

dilated glands and cysts in lamina propria

cystically dilated crypts

SMAD4, BMPR1A TGF-beta signaling pathway

51
Q

peutz jeghers polyp

A

rare auto dom - 10-15yo

pigmented mucocutaneous macules

increased risk of multiple malignancies

pedunculated GI polyps

splayed smooth m in polyp

52
Q

pigmented lesions on lips

A

petuz jeghers syndrome

53
