Colorectal troubles are frequently common in medical practice ranging from mild nonspecific complaints to serious suffering. Colonic mucosal biopsies are considering one of the diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with colorectal pathologies. The objectives of this study are focusing for interpretation various spectrum of colonoscopic biopsies and to provide a guide to the plan of management strategy. This retrospective study was including 250 colonoscopic biopsies collected during the from December 2015 through January 2020. Among them 160 cases were of the Non-Inflammatory Bowel Disease Colitis (NIBDC) entities whereas, remaining 90 cases were Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Among the first one, 100 (40%) cases were Non-specific colitis, 13 (5.2%) bacterial colitis, 2 (0.8%) collagenous colitis, 15 (6%) hyperplastic polyp, 5 (2%) Peutz-Jeuger's polyps, 5 (2%) solitary rectal ulcer, 4 (1.6%) eosinophilic colitis, 3 (1.2%) Juvenile polyp, and 3 (1.2%) were melanosis coli, and remaining 10 (4%) cases were unremarkable. In regard to the IBD, 60 cases (24%) were ulcerative colitis and 30 (12%) Crohn disease. Majority of colonic troubles are linked to non-specific pathologies whereas, IBD is considering the second detectable colonic lesions in our study.
