Résumé
Small bowel transplant is an acceptable procedure for intractable Crohn's disease (CD). Some case reports and small series describe the apparent recurrence of CD in the transplanted bowel. This commentary discusses evidence in favor of and against this alleged recurrence and argues that a molecular characterization is needed to prove or disprove that inflammation emerging in the transplanted bowel is a true recurrence of the original CD.
