Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases are strongly associated with colorectal cancer. In addition, a few cases reported with gastric and small bowel adenocarcinoma in gastroduodenal Crohn’s disease. Case report: We reported a case of a 47-Year-old female, who was referred to our surgical department and after a routine gastroscopy which revealed a lesion. Biopsy confirmed gastric well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of limited gastric Crohn’s disease, for a patient on regular anti Crohn’s medication. The patient underwent varying laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. She received adjuvant chemotherapy treatment and thereafter, she was cancer free within the period of 3- years of regular follow up. Conclusion: The only way to diagnose such lesions of a rare case of gastric cancer in a patient with Crohn’s disease is to regularly carry out upper gastrointestinal examinations.
