Abstract

Crohn's disease is a chronic and insidious condition characterized by an inflammatory process that may extend across all layers of the entire gastrointestinal tract. The common sites involved by Crohn's disease are the terminal ileum and ascending colon. Crohn's disease limited to the appendix is uncommon. Since its first report in 1953 by Meyerding and Bertram, 156 cases of appendiceal Crohn's disease have been documented in the world literature. We experienced a case of Crohn's disease limited to the appendix in a-35year-old female who were performed an ileocecectomy.
