@entity5 is uncommon in @entity30 but the risk of developing such a @entity5 is increased. @entity9993 plastica of the small bowel or colon is very rare. We report a case of @entity9993 which occurred 21 years after an ileocecal resection for @entity30 . @entity1744 in relation with stricture of the preanastomotic loop prompted us to suspect disease recurrence. The @entity5 was not diagnosed either on preoperative work-up, or during surgery but only on the histological examination of the resected specimen. Palliative chemotherapy with 5 FU and @entity4181 was performed. The @entity1 was asymptomatic after a 17-month follow-up. This observation focuses on the clinical signs and @entity9993 . It also illustrates the difficulty of @entity5 diagnosis in @entity30 . Malignant transformation must be suspected if signs of @entity66 re-occur after a lengthy quiescent period.
