Abstract

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Correct diagnosis requires the identification of precise morphological features such basal plasmacytosis. However, histopathological interpretation can be challenging, and it is subject to high variability.
