A patient with ulcerative colitis experienced an inflamed Meckel's diverticulum during surgery. Histology confirmed inflammation within the diverticulum, identifying it as a

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon.
  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.

Observation:

  • A patient with acute ulcerative colitis underwent emergency colectomy.
  • An inflamed Meckel's diverticulum was incidentally discovered and removed during the procedure.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed acute inflammation of colonic epithelium within the Meckel's diverticulum.
  • This finding confirmed the diverticulum as a 'skip lesion' in the context of ulcerative colitis.

Implications:

  • The case highlights the importance of histological examination of incidental findings during surgery for inflammatory bowel disease.

  • It suggests that Meckel's diverticulum can exhibit inflammatory changes mimicking or associated with ulcerative colitis.
  • This case contributes to understanding the spectrum of 'skip lesions' in inflammatory bowel disease.
