Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated immune dysregulation is believed to trigger the onset of various autoimmune diseases. These occur either during active COVID-19 or soon after recovery. We report ileocolonic Crohn's disease in a 35-year-old woman after her recovery from a milder form of COVID-19. She achieved remission of her symptoms with oral corticosteroids and sulfasalazine.

Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis is caused by immune-mediated destruction of gastric parietal cells. This leads to the absence of gastric acid production, which causes compensatory hyperplasia of gastric antral G-cells leading to hypergastrinemia. The excess gastrin binds to enterochromaffin-like cells causing hyperplasia, which may progress to dysplasia and rarely to gastric neuroendocrine tumors. We present a rare case of autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis associated with G-cell hyperplasia showing the full developmental spectrum of enterochromaffin-like cell proliferation from hyperplasia to dysplasia to neuroendocrine tumor.

Pancreatic pseudocysts are often drained endoscopically after 4–6 weeks of maturation. Allowing for developed encapsulation ensures that the cyst walls are strong enough to sustain drainage. However, in 3%–5% of these cases, pseudocysts will rupture spontaneously and put patients at risk of peritonitis. We present the first documented case of pancreatic pseudocyst rupture after upper endoscopy. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the absence of viscus perforation and highlighted the danger of any procedure that increases intra-abdominal pressure in a patient with a pancreatic pseudocyst. Awareness of this complication should impact our decision when considering endoscopy in patients with pancreatic pseudocysts.

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) involving the tail of the pancreas after pancreaticojejunosotomy (PJP) is rare, has very challenging management, and there is minimal literature. We describe a case of idiopathic RAP, complicated with chronic pancreatitis that failed medical and endoscopic management and required PJP. Unfortunately, RAP recurred after PJP, and we describe his clinical course and management.

Secondary pancreatic tumors are uncommon, with the majority originating from primary gastrointestinal or lung cancers. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas, found to be human papillomavirus–positive on in situ hybridization. After extensive work-up, the patient was determined to have a previously undiagnosed, asymptomatic head and neck primary malignancy. There is sparse literature discussing metastatic human papillomavirus–positive squamous cell carcinoma to the pancreas. This report highlights the importance of including this diagnosis when considering a differential for secondary pancreatic tumors, especially squamous etiology.

Eosinophilic colitis (EC) falls along the spectrum of a series of inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders in which eosinophils infiltrate the gut without known tissue eosinophilia. Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders include eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, and the least common EC. The presentation of EC is extremely variable in mucosal, submucosal, and transmural inflammation. We present a case of recurrent volvulus with histologic findings of eosinophilia.

Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of chronic secretory diarrhea with variable etiologies, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As its name implies, the diagnosis requires consistent histopathologic findings that typically accompany normal-appearing mucosa. However, accumulating evidence suggests that the presence of distinct endoscopic features is associated with MC. We present a case of MC that highlights the importance of recognizing these macroscopic findings because they can aid in diagnosis and have significant management implications.

Consumption of herbal supplements has been linked to multiorgan toxicities. Kratom is an herbal extract that has gained popularity for its analgesic and psychotropic properties. Several cases of kratom-induced liver injury have been reported, but data on multiorgan involvement remain scarce. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who developed a mixed hepatocellular and cholestatic pattern of acute liver injury, acute kidney injury, and pancolitis after prolonged use of kratom-containing herbal supplements.

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a rare disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern characterized by the development of multiple hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. The most frequent signs and symptoms are recurrent abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, anemia, and iron deficiency. The treatment of JPS is symptomatic, requiring serial endoscopic polypectomies or intestinal resections in the most severe cases. We describe the clinical case of a patient with JPS with a childhood juvenile polyposis phenotype because of a mutation on the SMAD4 gene, who received treatment with sirolimus successfully.
