Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Histological mucosal changes mimicking inflammatory bowel disease

V Suarez et al. Arch Pathol Lab Med. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

In 10 cases of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis affecting the colon in adults, the overlying mucosa exhibited abnormal glandular architecture. The importance of this feature lies in the possible confusion histologically with inflammatory bowel disease, especially Crohn's disease.
