Abstract
|
|
|
|
Crohn´s disease is a chronic and insidious condition characterized by an inflammatory process that may extend across all layers of the entire gastrointestinal tract. The common sites involved by Crohn´s disease are the terminal ileum and ascending colon. Crohn´s disease limited to the appendix is uncommon. Since its first report in 1953 by Meyerding and Bertram, 156 cases of appendiceal Crohn´s disease have been documented in the world literature. We experienced a case of Crohn´s disease limited to the appendix in a-35year-old female who were performed an ileocecectomy. J Korean Soc Coloproctol 2004;20: 236-239
