Abstract

Infection or noninfectious causes of inflammation in the bowel loops are common in children. Crohn disease involves primarily the small bowel, whereas ulcerative colitis primarily involves the colon. Most tumors that occur in the small and large bowel are benign, but potential of malignancies can be increased in underlying benign condition such as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome or ulcerative colitis.
