.Disease commonly stas in the rectum, spreads proximally to the colon and often into the ileum as back wash ileitis (5%).* It is a disease confined to mucosa and submucosa. * There is no bowel wall thickening and no granuloma formation. * There are no skip lesions.

Entire colon including caecum and appendix may be involved. ref:SRB&;s manual of surgery,ed 3,pg no 824
