In Crohn’s Disease, the bowel wall is thick and lumen is narrows and rubbery. There are deep knife-like ulcers, fissures, strictures and fistula. Serpentine linear ulceration and skip lesions are formed due to discontinuous spread. The bowel surface is wrapped by the mesenteric fat, called creeping fat. The histologic appearance is called cobblestone appearance.
