A doctor has provided 1 answer

Histopathology: Thee are differences in the microscopic picture of lesions between UC and Crohn's, however, there is considerable overlap in the appearance . The term inflammatory bowel disease is used to cover both entities when it is not feasible to be sure. As I mentioned earlier, on the positive side, your lesions are probably mild and is the likely reason for not being able to make a definitive diagnosis.
