An aphthous ulcer and pseudopolyps cannot be used to distinguish between the two diseases. 4 Regarding cross-sec-tional imaging findings, computed tomography enterography or magnetic resonance enterography shows comb, target, and adipose creeping signs that significantly favor CD. Concur-rently, necrotic intra-abdominal lymph nodes greatly support ITB diagnosis. Regarding histopathological findings, patients with ITB are twice more likely to have granuloma than those with CD. 4 Some granuloma characteristics such as confluent, giant, and multiple granulomas significantly favor ITB. Many diagnostic models have been proposed to combine all crucial factors differentiating between the two intestinal diseases. 7 A scoring system with more parameters available has a better than that with less parameters. 7 A multicenter retrospective study conducted in Asia validated various models for distinguishing between ITB and CD and showed that the
