Core Tip	Most gastroduodenal Crohn’s disease (CD) is associated with involvement of the terminal ileum and colon. CD confined to the stomach or duodenum may occur very rarely. Upper CD is typically confirmed by the presence of granulomas on biopsy, but endoscopic biopsies often fail to reveal granulomas. Thus, diagnosis of gastroduodenal CD requires a high level of clinical suspicion and can be made by comprehensive clinical evaluation if there are no definite histologic findings. This rare case highlights the importance of clinical suspicion and comprehensive clinical evaluation for the diagnosis of isolated gastroduodenal CD.
