Abstract:
We describe what we take to be the eighth case of miliary Crohn's disease since 1967 with a view to the possibility that miliary Crohn's disease is a disease different from Crohn's disease, and not just an early stage. Miliary Crohn's disease might be a different disease because (a) miliary tubercles are seen so rarely on the serosal surface of the bowel, (b) the 100% chance of finding crowded, typical granulomas in the bowel wall, and (c) the anatomic distribution of the lesion.
