Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Left picture shows an abdominal X-ray of a preterm infant with NEC. The presence of gas in the wall of the intestines (“pneumatosis intestinalis”) proves the diagnosis. Right picture on the top shows multifocal necrosis of the bowel, marked by the segmental dusky, hemorrhagic appearance. The most common sites of involvement are the terminal ileum and proximal colon. Right picture on the bottom shows a distended, congested, necrotic bowel (Compare the involved segment of intestine below with the more normal segment above.)

Colonic diverticula are acquired herniations in which the mucosa and submucosa protrude through weak spots in the muscular layer of the colon wall. They are usually multiple (can vary from a few to hundreds) and are referred to as diverticulosis. The sigmoid colon is the location of most cases of diverticulosis (95%), although any part of the colon can be involved. They often appear on the serosal surface in parallel rows between the teniae as seen in the gross specimen across

Histologically, colonic diverticula have a thin wall composed of a flattened mucosa and submucosa, and a markedly attenuated and often totally absent muscularis propria layer. In most diverticula, the base of the structure consists only of a thin serosal connective tissue layer. The adjacent bowel wall surrounding diverticula shows prominent hypertrophy and thickening of the muscularis propria.

Tubular adenoma of the colon. This lesion was removed with snare-electrocautery during colonoscopy. Note the stalk of normal tan mucosa and the multilobulated head of the polyp. The stalk is formed when the polyp grows to a size that allows it to be pulled on by peristaltic forces.
