Foreign-body ileitis. A case report.
A patient who ingested a soft-drink bottle top and stones, which resulted in a chronic active ileitis, is described. Histological examination revealed a chronic active inflammatory process, probably indicating long-term ingestion of foreign material. The histological features in some respects resembled those of Crohn's disease.
