Appendiceal neoplasms are rare. Colonic malignancies, including appendiceal carcinomas, have been rarely reported in Crohn's disease patients. The involvement of the appendix in Crohn's disease is not often seen. We report an interesting case in which a caecal Crohn's disease patient presented for the first time with an appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

Background: Autoimmune disorders have primary manifestations such as joint pain and bowel inflammation but can also have secondary manifestations such as non-infectious uveitis (NIU). A regulatory health authority raised concerns after receiving spontaneous reports for NIU following exposure to Remicade, a biologic therapy with multiple indications for which alternative therapies are available. In assessment of this clinical question, we applied validity diagnostics to support observational data causal inferences.

Background: Endoscopic evaluation 6-12 months after ileocolonic resection (ICR) in Crohn's disease (CD) is advised to assess the development of postoperative recurrence (POR) but no further recommendations are available for long-term monitoring if no POR is noticed.
Methods: Prospective, open-label, study including asymptomatic patients with CD and ICR in whom no POR was observed at the last endoscopic evaluation. Patients were followed-up for two years and ileocolonoscopy was performed by means of a faecal calprotectin (FC)-based strategy.

Background: Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is a rare condition that has been reported in several case studies, but its diagnostic criteria and clinical significance are inconsistent. There are no established clinical associations, except for Crohn's disease in children. Our study aimed to determine if patients with LyE have distinct demographic or clinical characteristics when compared with patients with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in their esophageal biopsy.

Background: Video capsule retention is a complication that can have serious consequences in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The patency capsule was developed to detect small bowel strictures. The usefulness of patency capsules in patients who do not have evidence of small bowel disease on imaging is uncertain.
