In a case of Crohn's disease, typical ulcerative and granulomatous changes were found also in ectopic gastric mucosa in a Meckel's diverticulum. Thus, the infrequency of gastric engagement as compared with ileo‐colic engagement in Crohn's disease seems to be related to differences other than those of mucosal type. Possible ways of the diverticulum as such to influence the development of the disease are discussed and the incidence of a co‐existing Meckel's diverticulum in Crohn's disease is commented.
