Abstract

A case is reported which illustrates the development of Crohn's disease in an isolated rectal stump occurring four-and-a-half years after subtotal colectomy for multiple polyposis coli. There was no evidence of more proximal small-bowel or colonic Crohn's disease. To our knowledge no similar occurrence has been reported in the literature.
