| The pathology revealed multiple mucosal diaphragm-like bands adjacent to the stricture of the previous anastomosis, showing mucosal ulceration, mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate, disruption of the muscularis mucosa with smooth muscle proliferation, and fibrosis. The histologic pattern seen in obliterative bronchiolitis is that of fibrous tissue between the epithelium and muscularis mucosa causing concentric narrowing of the airway lumen. Rarely, vomiting of a necrotic cast of the stomach occurs and is due to dissection along the plane of muscularis mucosa by the invading organisms. |
