The authors describe the incidence of Crohn's disease at an uncommon site the stomach--in a 40-year-old man. With regard to the steadily increasing incidence of the disease, it is important to consider its presence also in uncommon sites in the gastrointestinal tract. The establishment of the diagnosis must be comprehensive, as even histological examination of endobioptic specimens or resected portions need not be unequivocal from the diagnostic aspect.
