title: [Colonic localization of Crohn's disease following a recurrent pseudotumor of the abdominal wall (problems of pathogenesis and therapy)].
abstract: A pseudo-tumours of the abdominal wall is described, in the left hypochondrum and the left flank, that, recidivating after 5 years, invaded the splenic angle of the colon. The common histological characteristics were very clear and strongly suggested the presence of Crohn disease. The cellular elements found at the first intervention performed for the extirpation of the tumour in the abdominal wall, as well as at reintervention--consisting in the block resection of the recidivating tumour and of the segment of the colon involved (segmental colectomy)--represented by abundant plasmocytic infiltrates suggest the presence of an immune process. The problem raised is the possibility that the Crohn disease could be incriminated in both instances, since the immunological disturbances can be considered as clearly manifest.
