Cancer in Crohn's disease--an 'occult' malignancy

E M Thompson et al. Histopathology. 1983 May.

Abstract

The purpose of this case report of cancer complicating Crohn's disease is to highlight the occult nature of these tumours. From the literature it is apparent that the majority are only discovered by the pathologist. As many are inconspicuous even on macroscopic examination an improved method of dissection is suggested.
