 The correlation between histological and endoscopical features was evaluated by using 198 gastric biopsy specimens from 94 patients of Crohn's disease. The inflammatory types were classified into three ; diffuse chronic active gastritis (DCAG) : 15 lesions (7.6%), focally enhanced gastritis (FEG) : 67 lesions (33.8%) and no active inflammation : 116 lesions (58.6%). Most lesions with DCAG were accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection or histological erosions. Epithelioid cell granulomas were identified in 11 lesions (5.6%), and the inflammatory type of all 11 lesions with granulomas was FEG. Granulomas were more frequently seen in those with moderate to severe inflammation than those with no or only mild inflammation.

 FEG (21.3%) and granulomas (1.6%) were also seen even in the specimens with endoscopically normal mucosa. Endoscopical erosions/ulcers were frequently seen in the antrum (antral mucosa). In the specimens from erosions/ulcers, FEG (51.1%), DCAG (17.0%) and granulomas (12.8%) were most frequently recognized and inflammation was more prominent than in other lesions, but lymphoid aggregates were infrequent (6.4%). In the specimens from reddish mucosa, FEG (33.3%) and granulomas (11.1%) were occasionally recognized. Bamboo-joint-like appearance (BJA) was only seen in the gastric body to the cardia. In the specimen from it, inflammation is relatively mild and granulomas were seen only in one lesion although FEG (32.7%) was occasionally seen. In addition, edema and lymphoid aggregates were frequently seen in those from BJA. Fissure-like clefts or erosions were a characteristic histological feature of BJA, but it was only recognized in 5 lesions. In the specimens from granular/rough mucosa, FEG (20.0%) was occasionally seen, but no granuloma was identified.

 From the above findings, FEG is considered to be an incipient histological change in Crohn's disease and it is present even in endoscopically normal mucosa. During progression of inflammation, it develops into erosions/ulcers occasionally with granulomas. At the resolving to healed phase, reddish mucosa is formed in the antrum and BJA or granular/rough mucosa is formed in the body to the cardia.
