Correlation of colonoscopy and histopathological diagnosis in patients presenting with pathologies of large intestine
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The colon is affected by a spectrum of conditions which span from infectious, idiopathic, inflammatory diseases, polyps, motility disorders and colorectal tumors. Colonoscopy is believed to be the most effective screening modality as it allows both the detection and removal of early stage cancer. Aim: To correlate colonoscopy and histopathological diagnosis in patients presenting with pathologies of large intestine. Material and Methods: A total of 100 patients presented with various indications of large intestine pathologies were evaluated by colonoscopy. Biopsy was taken from abnormal areas and sent for histopathology. Results: Most common diagnosis was non-specific colitis (39%) followed by polyp (16%) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (15%). All the cases showing growth on colonoscopy were identified as colorectal adenocarcinoma on histopathology. Most of the cases of colitis were diagnosed to have non-specific colitis. Conclusion: Histopathological diagnosis correlated well with the colonoscopy diagnosis offered. Colonoscopy is currently considered to be gold standard for cancer surveillance and can detect advanced colonic neoplasms in asymptomatic individuals.
