large intestina Flashcards
what is the tumor marker to measure response to treatment of colonic adenocarcinoma
CEA
acquired malformation of mucosal/submucosal capillary beds leading to increase risk of rupture and hematochezia.
angiodysplasia (most common at cecum and right colon due to high wall tension/stress)
(morphological: tortuous blood vessels)
what population is ischemic bowel disease common
women > 70 with heart/ vascular disease
what is necrotizing enterocolitis
acute disorder leading to transmural necrosis
- most common acquired GI emergency in neonates
- at risk if premature
characteristic inflammation and gross appearance of UC vs Crohns
UC: pseudopolyps, and loss of hausfrau = “lead pip sign”
-crypt abscesses with neutrophils
Crohns: cobblestone mucosa, creeping fat, strictures (“string sign”)
-noncaseasting granulomas *TH1
most common neoplastic polyps
colonic adenomas
adenomatous polyps
genes associated with Crohns
NOD2 (increased NFKB)
ATG16L1
IRGM
details of juvenile polyps
- age: <5 yo
- location: rectum
- sporadic= solitary; no dysplasia
- congenital = multiple; dysplastic; risk of GI adenocarcinoma
- characteriscically CYSTIC
- gene: SMAD4 (TGFb signaling)
- polyps can bleed
chronic colitis associated with dense collagenous layer, increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (assoc with celiac and AI dz) , and mixed inflammatory infiltrate seen in older women and sx of chronic watery diarrhea
micropscopic colitis (NL on radiograph and endoscopy)
non classic AR FAP (adenomatous polyp)
not APC mutation, it is MYH mutation and the onset is 30-50 yo not 10-15
details of Gardner syndrome (adenomatous polyp)
***classic FAP, osteomas, and fibromatosis
(OFF)
(osteomas, thyroid/desmoid tumors, skin cysts)
two types of hamartomous polyps (occur spontaneously via genetics or acquired)
juvenile and Peutz Jehgers syndrome
most common cause of ischemic colitis and other causes. include sx
MCC: SMA atherosclerosis leading to infarct at watershed areas (splenic flexure)
other: AAA, OC, heart emboli, decreases BP, hypercoagability, CMV, radiation
ischemia sx: post prandial pain, weight loss,
infarction sx: ab pain, blood diarrhea
2 phases: hypo injury and repurfusion injury (RI = most damage)
chronic colitis from surgical treatment and current stony use and associated hallmark NUMEROUS MUCOSAL LYMPH FOLLICLES
diversion colitis
-colitis forms in diverted segment; common in UC
outpouching of mucosa/submucosa though muscularis propria layer due to increased intraluminal pressure usually at weak points where vasa recta transverse the MP layer (Sigmoid colon)
diverticulosis
