[Inflammatory bowel diseases: Scoring and pathological reports optimization].

The two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Both diseases have inflammatory flare-ups that alternate with periods of remission. The pathologist may examine biopsies of the digestive tract from IBD patients in different contexts: at the time of the initial diagnosis, in the event of a disease flare-up in order to differentiate a flare of the disease from another cause, particularly an infectious one, and during the long term follow-up of the disease in order to detect the occurrence of dysplastic lesions.

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica: clinical, bronchoscopic, and comorbid features in a case series.

Background: Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare condition of unknown etiology. TO is characterized by submucosal nodules, with or without calcifications, protruding in the anterolateral walls of the trachea and proximal bronchi. The objective of this study was to describe TO features and associated comorbidities in a series of patients.

Histological Indices and Risk of Recurrence in Crohn's Disease: A Retrospective Study of a Cohort of Patients in Endoscopic Remission.

Background: Although histological healing is raising interest in ulcerative colitis to predict recurrence, its meaning in Crohn's disease (CD) remains unknown. We aimed to study the performances of different histological indices to predict recurrence of CD patients with mucosal healing.

Methods: Crohn's disease patients with mucosal healing diagnosed between 2010 and 2018 were included if there was available clinical and endoscopical data.
