35. I always have difficulty about discrimination of Crohn and TB in Ileocecal region because I have noticed:
TB is more common in the areas where Crohn is not a common disease and vice versa.

36. Conclusion
Although inflammatory bowel diseases are easily diagnosed and differentiated from neoplasm but apart from some characteristic signs, recognition of the inflammation types is not so easy because of overlapping of the similar patterns.
This is true especially in discriminating ulcerative, granulomatous and tuberculosis type colitis which are mimicking each other and have confusing pattern.
