Abstract

We report the case of a 29-year-old man in whom isolated involvement of the appendix with granulomatous colitis or Crohn's disease manifested as a cecal mass. Appendectomy was performed. At operation the terminal ileum did not appear to be grossly involved. Careful long-term follow-up is essential in these patients to detect recurrent disease.
