Differentiating small bowel Crohn's disease from lymphoma. Role of rectal biopsy
Abstract:
Crohn's disease and lymphoma limited to the small bowel may have similar clinical and radiologic features. This diagnostic dilemma was encountered in 5 adolescent patients with an eventual diagnosis of Crohn's disease, all of whom had normal sigmoidoscopic and radiographic evaluations of the colon. Rectal and colonic biopsies in 3 revealed granulomas and focal colitis supportive of the diagnosis of Crohn's disease and prevented laparotomy. A careful search for occult colonic involvement in similar patients with Crohn's disease may obviate the need for diagnostic surgery.

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.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
