A member asked:
The doctor biopsied my terminal ileum because there was a patchy area of mucosa that was mildly granular. could this be serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: He/she is probably being careful and looking for a diagnosis. Early Crohn's can look like this, and there are other entities. The pathologist may or may not be able to call it.
