Dis Colon Rectum. 1980 Mar;23(2):115-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02587608.

Abstract

A case of Crohn's disease with carcinoma of the rectum is reported, bringing the number of reported cases to 44. Although the exact incidence of carcinoma arising in a segment of Crohn's disease is not known, a review of the literature emphasizes that there does seem to be a definite increased risk.
