Answers:
it's a report after having looked at small pieces of the large intestine!.

Crypts are mucosal folds or grooves along the inner-most lining of the rectum (which is part of the large intestine, just above anus) and it says that there is "distortion" and "destruction"- meaning they don't look normal but appear rather damaged!.

The "lamina propria" is the second layer of the large intestine/ rectum (think of the large intestine as a multi-layered tube, and it's the second inner most lining) and there is swelling within that layer ("inflammatory cell infiltrate")!.

by the way, colon is equal to large intestine!.


"consistent with idiopathic ulcerative proctitis" means that there is local swelling and inflammation in the rectum, and also shows sores/breaks in the lining but the overall cause is unknown!.

This is good news as it isn't something serious like cancer and treatment will most likely include diet restrictions and possibly some medications as well!.

I'd say Savage answered the question pretty well already!. My question is - why the heck you you post a question about a rectal biopsy in the respiratory section!? Amazing!Www@Answer-Health@Com
