Abstract:
The examination of 43 postoperative specimens and of 51 biopsic specimens of the rectum concerning colic Crohn's disease (MCC) confirm the known macroscopic and histologic characteristics of this disease. The epithelioid and gigant cell granuloma is rarely observed in the biopsic specimens of the rectum, and it is not always observed even on post operative specimens (only in 40% of the cases). The other characteristics and in particular the small "serous lymphohistiocytic perivascular infiltrates" should be taken into account when making the diagnosis. At the present time, there are still a certain number of forms of ulcerative colitis which cannot be classified, and the characteristics of which are both those of the MCC and of the RCUH.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
