Abstract:
We report the case of a young woman with Crohn's disease involving the entire digestive tract and with associated lesions of the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. This latter lesion led to acute cholecystitis which required cholecystectomy. The histo-pathological examination showed granulomas with multinucleated giant cells in the lamina propria. This observation illustrates a severe and extended form of Crohn's disease involving the entire digestive tract as well as the liver, the pancreas and the gallbladder.
