Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine on Crohn's disease

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2021 May 24. doi: 10.17235/reed.2021.8050/2021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatient diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) underwent urgent surgery for intestinal obstruction. Intraoperatively, an ileal stenosis causing the obstruction was observed. The pathological anatomy revealed a small bowel adenocarcinoma on Crohn's disease. Although the association of carcinoma and CD is very rare, we consider important to have a high level of suspicion in order to achieve early management of these patients and to improve the poor prognosis of this disease.PMID:34024111 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2021.8050/2021
