摘要：
Azathioprine is now widely used for the maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease, but there are concerns whether azathioprine could predispose to malignancy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We report here a case of a 39-year-old non-smoking male with Crohn's disease who had been treated for 3 years with azathioprine and developed a lingual ulcer. Biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma in situ, a tumour not previously associated with Crohn's disease.
