| Popis: | A 36-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of right lower abdominal pain and fever. Radiological and endoscopic examination revealed a polypoid lesion composed of several nodules in the orifice of the appendix in addition to irregular ulcers among the nodules. Macroscopic examination of the ileocolectomized specimen also revealed a polypoid lesion in the orifice of the appendix and a thickened appendiceal wall. The resected appendix and the polypoid lesion in the cecum exhibited Crohn's disease as characterized by transmural inflammation with non-caseating epithelioid granulomas and fissuring ulcers. This patient was diagnosed as a rare case of Crohn's disease confined to the appendix manifesting as a polypoid lesion in the orifice of the appendix. |
