Ileal Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma Masked by Crohn Disease.

Conclusion: This case of metastatic ileal SRCC occurred in the setting of long-standing, clinically controlled CD. Although the absolute risk of small-bowel adenocarcinoma in CD is low, active surveillance for small-bowel adenocarcinoma in patients with longstanding CD may be prudent, given the overlapping symptomology of SRCC and CD, the aggressiveness of SRCC, and the association of SRCC with subclinical inflammation.
