Diversion colitis is colitis due to a diversion, i.e. a stoma. Diversion proctitis redirects here.
General
- Segment of de-functioned bowel due to surgical diversion, i.e. stoma (ileostomy or colostomy).
- Diagnosis dependent on history - key point.
Gross
Features:[1]
- Ulceration - classic.
- Surgical changes, e.g. fibrotic-appearing thickened wall.
- May not be apparent.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia - key feature.[2]
- Abundant lymphoid nodules.
- Plasma cells and lymphocytes.
- +/-Changes of an active colitis - uncommon:[3]
Notes:
- May show IBD-like changes.[4]
- IBD should not be diagnosed on a diverted segment of bowel.
DDx:[5]
- Inflammatory bowel disease - no stoma.
- Ischemic colitis.
- Infectious colitis.

SIGMOID COLON, BIOPSIES: - MILD ACTIVE COLITIS WITH LAMINA PROPRIA FIBROSIS, SEE COMMENT. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. COMMENT: No granulomas are identified. Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia is not identified; however, there is no definite submucosa present. Diverted segments of bowel can have inflammatory bowel disease-like changes. In the context of a diverted segment of bowel, the findings are compatible with a diversion colitis.
RECTUM, BIOPSY: - CHRONIC ACTIVE PROCTITIS WITH FOCAL ULCERATION, CRYPTITIS AND CRYPT ABSCESSES. - GRANULATION TISSUE. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. COMMENT: No lymphoid hyperplasia is present. A small lymphoid aggregate is present. Architectural distortion is present. In the context of a diverted segment of bowel, the findings are compatible with a diversion colitis.
