Abstract
- Granulomatous lesions of the small bowel and colon are common in Crohn's disease, with other sites of involvement relatively infrequent. Nevertheless, Crohn's disease is frequently described as a disease of the entire gastrointestinal tract, although the involvement of the oral mucosa and tine tonsil with Crohn's disease has been a rarely noted extraintestinal manifestation of the disease. This report describes one such case. The history, physical examination, endoscopic findings, histological findings, and response to treatment are presented.
