| الوصف: | Introduction: Detecting non-cavitary epithelioid cell granuloma by gastrointestinal biopsy is important in the initial diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD). In the present study, we aimed to determine the rate of granuloma detection by gastrointestinal biopsy according to the number of biopsies performed. Methods: The present study included patients newly diagnosed with CD at our hospital between April 2017 and March 2023. During endoscopic examinations, biopsy specimens were taken from affected lesions. Initially, one section per biopsy was examined to detect granuloma. In cases where no granulomas were detected, step sections were additionally prepared and examined. The rate of granuloma detection by gastrointestinal biopsy was retrospectively examined. Results: A total of 30 patients with a new diagnosis of CD were included in this study. In total, 284 gastrointestinal biopsies were performed in 29 cases. The rate of granuloma detection by gastrointestinal biopsy per case was 58.6% (17 out of 29 cases). The rate of granuloma detection by gastrointestinal biopsy per biopsy was 6.0% (17 out of 284 biopsies) on initial histological examination and 11.6% (33 out of 284 biopsies) following examination of step sections. The rate of granuloma detection was significantly improved by performing histological examination of step sections compared with initial examinations (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The rate of granuloma detection per biopsy was 11.6%, even after histological examination of step sections. These results indicate that performing multiple intestinal biopsies and assessing for the presence of granuloma using multiple section examinations are required in the initial diagnosis of CD. |
