Abstract:
In ulcerative colitis the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the small bowel is higher than in the general population. More than 100 cases of carcinoma of the small bowel have been reported in patients with Crohn's disease of the same segment. However, obstructive carcinoma of the small bowel as the first manifestation of Crohn's disease has seldom been reported. We present such a case in which the first manifestation of otherwise silent Crohn's disease was intestinal obstruction by adenocarcinoma of the same segment.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
