Adenocarcinoma and crohn's disease a report of 2 cases and analysis of the literature

Abstract: Two cases of carcinoma developing in a segment of Crohn's disease are described, one in the large intestine and one in the small intestine. From an analysis of the literature, evidence is advanced with regard to age at the time of developing carcinoma, duration of symptoms attributable to Crohn's disease, anatomical distribution, and observed incidence compared with chance incidence. It is concluded that there is a small but significant risk of carcinoma developing, both in the small and large intestines, in C… Show more

“…Adenocarcinoma of both small and large bowel has been most frequently described (Morowitz et al 1968, Wyatt 1969, Darke et al 1973, Weedon et al 1973, Lightdale et al 1975) and reports of nonHodgkin's lymphoma are not uncommon (Hughes 1955, Wybburn-Mason 1968, Fielding et al 1972, Schofield 1972, Collins 1977. It was not until 1977 that the first description was published of Hodgkin's disease developing in a patient with Crohn's disease (Codling et al 1977), although since then 3 further cases, all adults, have been reported (Table 1) The present case differs in two ways from the 4 previously described: first, in our patient both diseases presented in childhood; secondly, there was no evidence of infradiaphragmatic Hodgkin's disease, in particular no bowel involvement.…”

“…Sie sind dann meist in der l iefe der verdickten Darmschleimhaut lokalisiert. Im Dünndarm präsentierten sich von 58 Karzinomen 39 im Rahmen einer Obstruktion, eine an und für sich ohnehin typische Komplika tion des Morbus Crohn [7], Die Diagnose eines Crohn-assoziierten Karzinoms wird daher meist sehr spät gestellt, und es er gibt sich daher eine entsprechend schlechte Fünf-Jahres-Über-lebensrate von IX% |I7|.…”
