Core Tip |
Appendiceal Crohn’s disease (CD) is relatively rare and is indistinguishable from acute appendicitis. Appendiceal CD shows a favorable clinical outcome with a low recurrence rate. The differential diagnosis includes intestinal tuberculosis, foreign body reaction, diverticulitis of the appendix, sarcoidosis, actinomycosis, and Yersinia infection. Atypical and protracted clinical course, unusual gross features of the appendix and the characteristic histologic features are a clue in the diagnosis of appendiceal CD.
