This elderly patient with renal disease presented with loose motions and abdominal discomfort. A non-contrast CT had reported a sigmoid mass and a flexible sigmoidoscopy is organised. WHAT IS THE DIAGNOSIS?
■ Likely diverticular stricture
INCORRECT!
■ Stricture is probably malignant
INCORRECT
explanation
This is a benign entero-colic fistula. It's the explanation for the odd looking "double lumen". On FoE, 90% got this right. By the way, we had a similar case in Leeds a few years ago when the unwary endoscopist was puzzled when histology reported the presence of normal duodenal mucosa in what he had reported as "hepatic flexure" ☺ ! |
