We present a case of ileostomy adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis occurring 51 years after proctocolectomy and Brooke ileostomy in a female with Crohn's disease. This case represents the longest documented interval between Brooke ileostomy and ileostomy adenocarcinoma diagnosis and summarizes clinical signs that warrant biopsy of a peristomal plaque to differentiate adenocarcinoma from clinical mimics such as pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). Clinical, histological, and surgical patient data were reviewed. A literature review of adenocarcinoma arising from ileostomy sites was performed. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman that presented with a peristomal skin lesion developing over 10 years. After multidisciplinary discussion between gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and dermatology, ileoscopy revealed moderately differentiated, invasive adenocarcinoma arising from the ileostomy site.
