Background: Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, presents significant challenges concerning diagnosis due to overlapping clinical features and different underlying tissue changes. Timely differentiation of these types for proper management and to optimize long-term outcomes remains critical. To compare the anatomical and histopathological features of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2022 to January 2023 at DI Khan Medical College involving 89 children with confirmed diagnoses of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Biopsy specimens were examined for significant histopathological changes, which included the presence of granulomas, crypt abscesses, transmural inflammation, loss of goblet cells, and distortion of mucosal architecture. For this study, data analysis employed the ‘chi-square test with a significance threshold set at p < 0.05’. Results: Granulomas and transmural inflammation occurred only in ‘Crohn's disease cases (p < 0.0001), while crypt abscesses, depletion of goblet cells, and patchy continuous involvement mucositis were more prevalent in ulcerative colitis (p < 0.05)’. The age, gender distribution, BMI percentile, and duration of symptoms were similar across the groups. Conclusion: Distinct histopathological features can reliably ‘differentiate Crohn’s disease from ulcerative colitis’ in pediatric patients. Accurate early diagnosis based on tissue findings is essential for guiding therapy and improving outcomes.
