Q

Histologically, what does aphthoid ulcer look like?

A

Focal loss of villi over a round area of inflammation
Adjacent villi are enlarged by inflammation in the
Lamina propria

Q

What are suprasphincteric fistulae?

A

When fissures arise in the distal rectum just above the anorectal junction
Therefore, there is a 2cm perirectal collection

Q

What are valculae conniventes?

A

AKA plicae circulares
Circular folds
Large valvular flaps projecting into the lumen of the bowel
Serves to increase surface area

Q

What does ischemia to the small intestine look like?

A

Thumb printing
The dark shit is a lot THICKER (the white part is a lot thinner in CT)
The dark shit is what should look like a thumb

Q

Where do adenoma or adenocarcinoma usually present in small intestine?

A

2nd and 4th portion duodenum, proximal jejunum

17
Q

Where do carcinoid tumors arise?

A

Distal ileum
Extension beyond bowel wall
30% multifocal

18
Q

What is a desmoplastic reaction?

A

The growth of fibrous or connective tissue
Secondary to an insult
May occur around a neoplasm, causing dense fibrosis around the tumor

19
Q

Where is the most common area of small bowel lymphoma?

A

The ileo-cecal region

20
Q

What happens in small bowel lymphoma?

A

Degradation of circular longitudinal muscle
Therefore there is an EXPANSION of the lumen
Whereas crohn’s theres stricture of the lumen

21
Q

What is a diverticulum?

A

A sac

22
Q

What are the characteristics of diverticular disease of the colon?

A
  1. Multiple Small sacs
    -herniations of mucosa/submucosa at sites of penetrating arterioles
  2. Alteration of circular and longitudinal muscle layers (myochosis)
    0elastin deposits result in short, thick taeniae coli with “bunching” of circular muscle and mucosa
23
Q

What is the pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding?

A

Diverticulum (sac) expands against the vessels lining the outside of the lumen
Expansion will lesion the vessels, causing bleeding into the lumen

24
Q

If you have rectal bleeding, what are the two most common causes

A
  1. hemorrhoids

2. Diverticular bleeding

25
Q

What is the difference between diverticulosis and diverticulitis?

A 
Diverticulosis = sacs
Diverticulitis = inflammation of the mucosa? Submucosa?
26
Q

What is the risk of a hyperplastic polyp of developing into a cancer?

A

99% that it will NOT turn into a tumor

27
Q

How can you tell the likelihood of malignancy for adenoma?

A

The bigger the polyp, the more likely it is to be malignant

The more of a villous component, the more chance of malignancy as well

28
Q

What are lipomas?

A

Most common submucosa lesion aside from hemorrhoids

Fat in the submucosa (all the white stuff in H&E)

29
Q

Which of the following small bowel tumors forms a calcified, speculated mesenteric metastasis?

A 
Which of the following small bowel tumors forms a calcified, speculated mesenteric metastasis?
A. LYMPHOMA
B. Adenocarcinoma
C. Carcinoid tumor
D. Metastatic melanoma
30
Q

The most common cause of a jejunal intussusception in an adult is which of the following?

A

A. Lipoma
B. Adenoma
C. Metastatic melanoma
D. Idiopathic/No lead point polyp
