Core Tip
Core Tip: Crohn’s disease (CD)-related small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare adenocarcinoma that is difficult to detect and diagnose in its early stages. Herein, selected features of plain and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in a case of adenocarcinoma are described. This unusual case and review of the relevant literature aims to contribute to the current knowledge base to improve the diagnosis of CD-related SBA using imaging findings.
