Objective: To demonstrate the appendicitis-like onset of Crohn’s disease and the detection of granulomas as findings. Materials and Methods: the medical history of a girl with an appedicite-like onset of Crohn’s disease was analyzed. A complete clinical and laboratory, instrumental examination, histological, histomorphometric analysis of the surgical material and biopsy specimens of the mucous membrane of the colon and ileum were carried out. Results: morphological markers of Crohn’s disease were revealed in a girl against the background of complete health with appendicitis-like onset of Crohn’s disease. Conclusion: Crohn’s disease can be disguised as a variety of diseases. It is very important to have the attitude of surgeons to exclude this disease, conduct an intestinal revision and a complete morphological examination of the operating material in case of suspicion.
