Lymphoid tissue and lymphoid-glandular complexes of the colon: relation to diverticulosis.

The lymphoid tissue of the normal colon is compared with that of colons with diverticular disease. Colons with diverticular disease show a significant increase in the number of lymphoid nodules in areas not containing diverticula. Lymphoid-glandular complexes of the colon were studied in relation to diverticular disease. It is suggested that the lymphoid nodules and the lymphoid-glandular complexes of the colon constitute weak points in the bowel wall and may play a part in the pathogenesis of diverticula.

Enterolith ileus as a complication of small bowel diverticulosis.

We report a case of small bowel obstruction which was found to be due to an enterolith obstructing the distal ileum in the manner of "gallstone ileus." The enterolith had formed in an acquired jejunal diverticulum. We review the accepted mechanism of formation of these "stones" and propose a protocol for treatment of this rare complication.

Coexistent Crohn's disease and sigmoid diverticulosis.

This study reports six patients with a diagnosis of diverticular disease with associated localized Crohn's colitis who were all treated by segmental resection. Two patients died in the post-operative period from disease unrelated to their colonic pathology. The remaining four patients remain well, show no signs of recurrent disease and have required no further surgery. The behaviour and significance of the two conditions occurring in the same patient is discussed.
