A 70-year-old woman was admitted for investigation of an abdominal tumor. Abdominal CT revealed an ascending colonic mass measuring 10 × 10 cm, with evidence of liver and lung metastasis. Colonoscopy revealed a cancerous lesion with a central ulcer in the ascending colon. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcerative lesion in the descending part of the duodenum. Histologically, the tumor showed features of neuroendocrine carcinoma. The patient died of the primary cancer two and a half months after admission. Autopsy revealed a fistula connecting the ascending colonic mass with the ulcerative lesion in the duodenum.

The structure and function of the mammalian gut vary by region, yet why inflammatory diseases manifest in specific regions and not others remains unclear. We use a TNF-overexpressing Crohn's disease (CD) model (Tnf ), which typically presents in the terminal ileum (TI), to investigate how environmental factors interact with the host's immune susceptibility to drive region-specific disease. We identified , an intracellular bacterium and murine counterpart to the human sexually transmitted , as necessary and sufficient to trigger disease manifestation in the ascending colon (AC), another common site of human CD.
