Pulmonary nodules in a patient with Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a 42 year-old-woman who presented cough, diarrhea, bilateral cavitated pulmonary nodules in the radiography and a colonoscopy suggestive of Crohn's disease. Before the beggining of treatment, IGRAs were positive. This case was a diagnosis challenge between Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis. Eventually, the diagnosis of Crohn's disease with pulmonary involvement was given, which is an unusual extraintestinal manifestation.
