Abstract

Esophageal involvement in Crohn's disease is uncommon. We report here a case with pre-eminent esophageal symptoms and numerous tuberculoid granulomas at histopathological examination. This is an opportunity to review the differential diagnoses and to describe the clinical, endoscopic and histopathological features of this localisation.
