Suggestive of mild chronic non specific inflammation

Hello.
Thanks for putting your query in hcm.

Presence of oedema, lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils suggest that there is mild chronic inflammation. It does not suggest any infection. It simply suggest non specific colitis. Good thing is that there is no crypt abscess or cryptitis or granuloma or sign of malignancy.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you wish you a good health.
