Novel histological repertoire of crypt-associated anomalies in inflamed colon mucosa.
Carlos A RubioMichael ViethCorinna Lang-SchwarzPublished in: Journal of clinical pathology (2022)
CAAs were found interspersed with branching crypts. CAAs persisted in long-lasting UC mucosal inflammation, but declined when the inflammation waned. Since similar anomalies are not present in normal colon mucosa, the results suggest that CAAs had been boosted by the ongoing mucosal inflammation. The development of these previously unreported CAAs in the colon mucosa with inflammation might embody pathological aberrations of cryptogenesis.
