Criteria for histologic fibrosis scoring.
| | Score | Description |
| Fibrosis | 0 | No increased collagen deposition | 1 | Increased collagen deposition in the submucosa and mucosa | 2 | Increased collagen deposition in the submucosa and mucosa | 3 | Increased collagen deposition in the muscularis mucosa, submucosa, and mucosa; thickening and disorganization of the muscularis mucosa | 4 | Increased collagen deposition in the muscularis propria, muscularis mucosa, submucosa, and mucosa | 5 | Increased collagen deposition throughout all layers, including the serosa |
| Percent involvement | 1 | 0–25% of the section | 2 | 25–50% of the section | 3 | 50–75% of the section | 4 | 75–100% of the section |
