| Crohn's disease | Ulcerative colitis | |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal ileum involvement | Commonly | Seldom |
| Colon involvement | Usually | Always |
| Rectum involvement | Seldom | Usually (95%)[1] |
| Involvement around the anus |
Common[2] | Seldom |
| Bile duct involvement | No increase in rate of primary sclerosing cholangitis | Higher rate[3] |
| Distribution of disease | Patchy areas of inflammation (skip lesions) | Continuous area of inflammation[1] |
| Endoscopy | Deep geographic and serpiginous (snake-like) ulcers | Continuous ulcer |
| Depth of inflammation | May be transmural, deep into tissues[2][4] | Shallow, mucosal |
| Stenosis | Common | Seldom |
| Granulomas on biopsy | May have non-necrotizing non-peri-intestinal crypt granulomas[2][5][6] | Non-peri-intestinal crypt granulomas not seen[7] |
The tables in this series compare Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the main types of inflammatory bowel disease, and are used in both articles.
