Occurs at any age, F>M. More often among Jews than among non-Jews
-
Crohn dz morphology
often mesenteric fat wraps around bowel surface ("creeping fat"). Intestinal wall is rubbery and thick, result of edema, inflammation, fibrosis, and hypertrophy of the muscularis propria. Lumen is narrowed; in small intestine this is seen on x-ray as "string sign." Sharp demarcation of diseased bowel segments. TRANSMURAL
-
complications of crohn dz
Dysplastic changes appearing in mucosal epithelial cells, after long standing Crohn dz --> carcinoma. Fistula formation, abscess, intestinal strictures, Massive intestinal bleeding, toxic dilation of colon, or carcinoma of colon (less than cancer risk of ulcerative colitis) or small intestine

calcium, bilirubin pigmented stones can turn brown if
colonized w/ bacteria. Biliary strictures (post surgical). Choledochal cyst. Liver flukes infestation causing intra and extrahepatic bile duct strictures
-
mixed stones
cholesterol gallstones become colonized by bacteria (Lytic enzymes from the bacteria and leukocytes hydrolyze the bilrubin and fatty acids). calcifies thru time. calcium ring forms around stone.
