Abstract
A 77-year-old female with metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 30%, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, and gout is on several medications and regular follow-up. She presented to the accident and emergency department with diarrhea and per rectal bleeding of one-week duration. A digital rectal examination was unremarkable. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed extensive diffuse diverticular disease of the colon, the sigmoid colon showed soft tissue thickening associated with lumen narrowing, and suspicious lymph nodes were seen. However, the CT scan did not show a mass lesion. This was followed by a colonoscopy which showed unremarkable findings. Multiple colonic biopsies were taken for histopathological examination. A high-power view of the biopsy is shown in Figure 1.
