Coexistent ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease

This case report describes a patient with chronic ulcerative colitis and epithelial dysplasia of 17 y duration ultimately complicated by colonic carcinoma. At laparotomy, clinically unsuspected but typical Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum was also found. The macroscopic and histological features of the resected terminal ileum were characteristic of Crohn's disease.
