“…Clinical presentation depends on the predominant layer involved 70 . Mucosal disease is the most common form occurring in approximately 50% of cases and presents with abdominal pain, malabsorption, and protein‐losing enteropathy, whereas muscular disease presents as intestinal obstruction and serosal disease presents with eosinophilic ascites and pleural effusion 71,72 . The stomach and proximal intestines are the most common sites of involvement (40–80%).…”

Immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a diverse group of complex inflammatory diseases that result from dysregulated immune pathways and can involve any system of the human body. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one such disease involving the gastrointestinal (GI) system. With high prevalence in the West and increasing incidence in newly industrialized countries, IBD poses a significant burden on health care. IMIDs of the GI system other than IBD can have similar clinical features, causing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although these disorders share a common pathophysiology, the defects can occur anywhere in the complex network of cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and innate and adaptive systems, leading to unregulated inflammation. Precise knowledge about them will help determine the possible targeted therapy. Thus, it is essential to distinguish these disorders from IBD. This review describes various IMIDs of the GI tract that mimic IBD.
