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.
本研究报告了8例患者,他们在1978年至1986年间接受了阑尾切除术,病因是明显孤立的、先前未被诊断出的阑尾克罗恩病。自那以后,所有患者病情一直良好,没有疾病复发的迹象。这可能代表了一种侵袭性较小的克罗恩病形式,或者是一种不同的病症,即肉芽肿性阑尾炎。
