Sumario:Signet-ring cell carcinoma is a rare adenocarcinoma, predominantly affecting the stomach and ovaries. Primary sites elsewhere are rarer. It is recognized that there is an increased cancer risk with the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. We report a patient with Crohn's disease who was diagnosed with signet-ring cell carcinoma in the setting of a Crohn's flare. Diagnosis was made with endoscopy. Treatment included laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy with ileostomy with subsequent chemotherapy as an outpatient.
