Abstract

Leśniowski-Crohn's disease (L-CD) includes several clinical and pathological pictures which are manifestations of transmural inflammation. L-CD may affect any portion of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and in the upper part of GI it has been described in 0.5%-13.0% of all cases of this disease. In the upper part of GI, in the course of L-CD, there appears a considerable variety of endoscopical and morphological pictures. Advances which have been achieved in endoscopic methods, along with very precise histopathological description, allow us to diagnose a greater number of incidences of L-CD in the upper part of GI, compared to previous years.
