Abstract
This study reports eight patients who underwent appendicectomy between 1978 and 1986 for apparently isolated, previously undiagnosed Crohn's disease of the appendix. All patients have since remained well with no sign of disease recurrence. This may represent a less aggressive form of Crohn's disease or be a different entity, namely granulomatous appendicitis.Entities:
