[Adenocarcinoma developing from an ileal diverticulum. Apropos of a case]

The rare case is reported of a cylindrical cell epithelioma developing in the base of an ileal diverticulum. This infrequent association was further complicated by the fact that the patient was in the early stages of Kahler's disease. After presentation of the case the literature on ileojejunal adenocarcinoma associated with small intestine diverticula is reviewed.
