Abstract: | A 40-yr-old male doctor from India presented with pyogenic liver abscesses as the first manifestation of Crohn's disease. The Crohn's disease itself was limited to the appendix and the adjacent cecum and could be diagnosed only 6 months after the presentation with liver abscess. This single case highlights three unusual features of Crohn's disease, and stresses the importance of meticulous search for a cause for pyogenic liver abscess when it occurs in an otherwise healthy adult. |
