Résumé
Les lésions histologiques de l'appendice chez 22 patients opérés de maladie de Crohn ont été comparées avec des lésions observées chez 22 patients soumis à une appendicectomie pour appendicite aiguë.
L'appendice était anormal chez tous les patients porteurs de maladie de Crohn. Dans 3 cas (13 %), des granulomes ont été objectivés. Dans les autres cas, les lésions n'étaient pas spécifiques.
