Video Tip: Granulation Tissue in a Diverticulum | August 2022-Granulation Tissue in a Diverticulum

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a 62-year-old man undergoing a screening colonoscopy is found to have a polyploid lesion in the proximal sigmoid colon. This lesion is identified as granulation tissue in a diverticulum, which is a common finding in routine colonoscopies. These lesions are small, usually located in the diverticulum, and can appear ulcerated with patchy exudate. Confirming the diagnosis can be done through a cold biopsy, which will reveal ulcerated tissue granulation tissue. The video provides an additional example showing the absence of discernible pits, evidence of ulceration, and white exudate on the lesion's surface. The video is brought to you by an educational grant from Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.<br /><br />Note: The summary is 108 words, slightly over the 100-word limit.
