This Hemotoxilin and Eosin (H and E) slide
of the colonic mucosa in a patient with UC demonstrates extensive
inflammatory cells within the crypts, replenished goblet cells, and
epithelial proliferation. Within the mucosa and lamina propria there
are lymphocytes and PMNs. This is the cause of the granular appearance
seen on air contrast barium enemas in early UC (Figure 7). |
