Esophagus - Diverticulum
comment:
Diverticula ( Figure 1
recommendation:
Whenever present, diverticula should be diagnosed, but it is not necessary to give the lesion a severity grade. Associated lesions, such as inflammation or ulceration, may be diagnosed separately if warranted by severity, but it should be made clear in the pathology narrative that the lesions are associated with the diverticulum.references:
