AB Crohn's  disease  is  a  chronic  inflammatory  condition  of  the  gastrointestinal  (GI)  tract  that  can  give  rise  to  strictures,  inflammatory  masses,  fistulas,  abscesses,  hemorrhage,  and  cancer.  This  disease  commonly  affects  the  small  bowel,  colon,  rectum,  or  anus.  Less  commonly,  it  can  also  involve  the  stomach,  esophagus,  and  mouth.  Often,  the  disease  will  simultaneously  affect  multiple  areas  of  the  GI  tract.
