  • Title: Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine in Crohn's disease: a unique finding.
    Author: Bastug DF, Cochran RC, Caldwell R, Foster D.
    Journal: W V Med J; 1991 Jul; 87(7):295-8. PubMed ID: 1926836.
    Abstract:
    Development of adenocarcinoma of the small bowel is rare. We present this report of a patient with a long-standing history of Crohn's disease who was found to have the 95th reported case of adenocarcinoma developed in the presence of Crohn's. The unique feature of this case is the finding of two distinctly separate carcinomas in the same surgical specimen. With report of this case and a review of the literature, certain characteristics are presented in hopes of raising suspicions sufficiently to detect this malady at an earlier stage.
