  • Title: [Idiopathic granulomatous appendicitis or Crohn's disease confined to the appendix?].
    Author: De Fuenmayor Valera ML, Pérez Díaz MD, Calvo Serrano M, Muñoz Jiménez F, Turégano Fuentes F, Del Valle Hernández E.

    Abstract:
    Crohn's disease limited to the appendix is uncommon. When Crohn's disease affects the appendix it typically has a longer clinical course than most cases of acute appendicitis. The diagnosis is histological. Appendiceal Crohn's disease has a benign course after surgery, and that's why some authors believe that it could be a different entity which should be better addressed to as "Idiopathic Granulomatosus Appendicitis". We present three new cases of Crohn's disease limited to the appendix.
