Abstract:
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, frequently presenting with extraintestinal manifestations. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a systemic vasculitis primarily affecting the respiratory tract and kidneys. Extraintestinal Crohn's disease and granulomatosis with polyangiitis may have similar clinical presentations and, in rare occurrences, can coexist. This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic complexities of this uncommon overlap syndrome.
