I got this from clinicalgate. It's a dissection of the colon. I recall skeptics a while back saying that gastroenterologists only see blood vessels and clean tissue like this:
when they peer into the colon. I feel like I am being gaslighted. Let's do some reality testing. I don't see any blood vessels or ridges in the dissection. But what I do see is a thick, rubbery material. The pathologist who commented about this dissection did not mention this abnormality as if it is normal. Instead, the pathologist said there was a moderate amount of chronic inflammation in the lamina propria, which is a layer of the mucosa just below the epithelium. Look at the bottom part of the dissection. You see a tan/pink, rubbery, ropy material. Is that mucoid rope? The overwhelming majority of the mucoid rope I observed coming out of me was a light brown color.
