2 Figure 1 Cryptitis, crypt abscesses, and expansion of the lamina propria by a mononuclear cell infiltrate (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 100 ×). Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5, 27-31DOI: ( /j.cgh ) Copyright © 2007 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Prominent basal lymphoid aggregates are virtually always present in diverticular disease–associated segmental colitis (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 100 ×).

4 Figure 3 Expansion of the lamina propria by a mononuclear cell infiltrate and architectural distortion in a biopsy specimen (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 100 ×). Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5, 27-31DOI: ( /j.cgh ) Copyright © 2007 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Basal lymphoplasmacytosis and Paneth cell metaplasia are frequently present in diverticular disease–associated segmental colitis, mimicking ulcerative colitis (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 200 ×).

6 Figure 5 Sections show cryptitis, crypt abscesses, basal lymphoplasmacytosis, and architectural distortion in this resection specimen from a patient with diverticular disease–related segmental colitis. Note that the inflammatory process is confined to the mucosa (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 200 ×).

8 Figure 7 Patchy acute inflammation, crypt abscess formation, and reactive epithelial changes in a biopsy specimen from a patient with NSAID-associated colitis (hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification 100 ×).
