COMMENT - PART A: | |||
The granulomas are mucosal and near inflamed crypts. Mucosal granulomas may be seen in | |||
ulcerative colitis beside inflamed crypts; however, this does raise the possibility of | |||
Crohn's disease. | |||

The inflammation is diffuse and chronic changes are seen throughout. Distal paneth cell | |||
metaplasia is present. The diffuse nature of the inflammation would be more in keeping with | |||
ulcerative colitis. Clinical correlation is required. | |||
