Crohn's disease is a frequent and invalidating pathology. The development of colorectal cancer in long- standing Crohn's disease patients has become a major complication, but which unfortunately is underestimated and not so much evaluated in current practice. And to underline this and remind clinicians of it we present our case. This article presents a patient with Crohn's disease who experienced the two known complications, severe acute colitis and ano- perineal lesions, and who developed invasive adenocarcinoma on the rectum remaining 20 years after subtotal colectomy.
