A member asked:

My colonoscopy biopsy shows colonic mucosa with reactive lymphoid aggregates. i was having bleeding & mucous. uc or crohn's? or normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nonspecific finding: Lymphoid aggregates are commonly found in the colon and small bowel. They are a normal finding. Excessive lymphoid aggregates could be related to infections or ibd but they are relatively a nonspecific finding, especially if the other features of ibd are not present.
