Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), namely ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), are linked to a heightened risk of developing intestinal neoplasia, which represents one of the most serious long-term consequences of persistent inflammation. This review outlines recent epidemiological patterns and the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC) and dysplasia arising in patients with UC and CD.
