Abstract:
The increasing number of publications about the incidence of cancer in small intestine with Crohn's disease shows Ileitis terminalis as an affection promoting cancer. Main problems are early diagnosis and differential diagnosis concerning intestinal stenosis caused by Crohn's recidivation or blind loop after resection. Regular scrutiny of patients with Crohn's disease is of special significance; because of the few present case reports early resection as prophylaxis is not justified.
