Description
This specimen shows three ulcerated areas involving most of the circumference of the bowel. The
ulcers are oval in shape, run transversely, have a granular floor and raised edges. There are a
number of minute white dots visible, particularly in the lower part of the specimen. There appears
to be a minor degree of serosal involvement.
History
Not known, but one would have expected the patient to have pulmonary tuberculosis.
Histologically, no acid-fast bacilli were demonstrated in the lesions.
