A 54-year-old male underwent a low anterior resection in 2015 for rectal adenocarcinoma. He presented to the emergency department with a two-week history of fever, perianal pain, an erythematous, warm, and actively draining mass. Physical examination revealed a perianal abscess in the left posterior gluteal region, with a palpable internal fistulous orifice 3 cm from the anal margin.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a heterogeneous chronic condition characterized by periods of relapse and remission. Ulcerative colitis involves inflammation of the colon and rectum mucosa, while Crohn's disease causes deeper, transmural inflammation affecting all four gut layers from the mouth to the anus and can lead to complications such as fistulation. IBD significantly impacts patients' physical and psychological well-being, thus reducing their quality of life (QoL).

Background & Aims: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PCD) is a common and debilitating complication with elusive pathophysiology. We examined mucosal cells from patients with PCD and related conditions using a multi-omics approach.
Methods: We recruited patients with PCD (n = 24), CD without perianal disease (NPCD, n = 10), and idiopathic perianal fistulas (IPF, n = 29).
