Hepatic abscesses as the primary presentation of Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT

Hepatic Abscesses have been reported in association with Crohn's disease (CD). They either occur as a complication of known CD, or as in this case, are the presentation of undiagnosed disease. The management of the CD associated with liver abscesses is a matter of debate. We report a case of CD presenting with hepatic abscesses, review the literature and discuss the management options.
