Abstract.
Two cases of colorectal carcinoma complicating Crohn’s disease are reported and the relevant literature is reviewed. It is important to be aware of this increasing complication and the specific group of patients at risk. Special attention to possible malignant transformation could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
