Figure 1 Biopsy from colonoscopy which revealed mucosal inflammation, compatible with ulcerative colitis.
Figure 2 Histopathological image from the excised colon, typical of ulcerative colitis.
This image demonstrates marked lymphocytic infiltration (blue/purple) of the intestinal mucosa and architectural distortion of the crypts (right side of the image). The inflammation is shallow and affects only the mucosa sparing the muscularis mucosal (left side).
