Figure 2 Endoscopic and gross pathological evidence of differential mucosal healing post-tofacitinib therapy.
A: Follow-up colonoscopy illustrating a heterogeneous healing pattern: Mucosal remission in the right colon (Mayo Endoscopic Score 0-1) contrasted with persistent severe inflammation in the distal segments, including the rectum and sigmoid colon (Mayo Endoscopic Score 3); B: Gross specimen of the resected colorectum demonstrating severe inflammation, mural thickening, and extensive ulceration in the sigmoid colon and rectum, confirming the extent of medically refractory disease.
