A housewife was first admitted to the Radcliffe Infirmary in October 1949 at the age of 34. She gave a history of eight months' diarrhoea and loss of weight, and two weeks' history of lower abdominal pain. She was emaciated and a mass was palpable in the right iliac fossa. Investigations.-Haemoglobin 7.2 g./100 ml. Blood filmmarked iron-deficiency changes. Stools-repeatedly positive for occult blood, negative for pathogens, no acid-fast bacilli on culture. Barium enema showed an irregular filling defect of the caecum, together with narrowing of a short segment of the pelvic colon. At operation in November 1949 the appearances were those of a malignant lesion of the caecum, to which the sigmoid colon and coils of terminal ileum were adherent. A right hemicolectomy, ileal resection, and sigmoid resection was carried out, with end-toend anastomosis of the left colon, and end-to-side ileotransverse colostomy. The caecum contained a large soft carcinoma which had partially infiltrated the caecal wall. There were adhesions between caecum and overlying loops of ileum. Histologically the tumour was a moderately differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma. Microscopically, some adhesions were inflammatory in nature and others were neoplastic. A mixed inflammatory infiltrate within the caecum extended well beyond the limits of the tumour, and within this infiltrate were granulomatous foci containing giant cells. There were marked submucosal fibrous thickening and fibrous infiltration of pericolic fat, and fissures were present. Within the ileum there was again pronounced subserosal and submucosal fibrous thickening, and the submucosa contained patchy mixed inflammatory infiltrate, including moderate numbers of giant cells. Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes showed marked reactive hyperplasia but no evidence of malignancy. In summary the changes were typical of Crohn's disease involving the caecum and ileum. After the operation the patient developed a faecal fistula from the sigmoid resection site, but this eventually closed and she was discharged home three months after admission. She was readmitted four months later because the fistula had recurred. This was excised and the defect in the colon closed. She remained well for seven
