Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crohn's disease is characterized by inflammation and damage to the lining of the digestive tract, particularly the small and large intestines. The inflammation can lead to the formation of scar tissue and a thickening of the intestinal wall, resulting in a "cobblestone" appearance. Colorectal cancer and hemorrhoids do not produce this effect, and while ulcerative colitis can cause inflammation of the colon, it typically does not result in the same kind of tissue thickening seen in Crohn's disease.
