| Abstract | We report Crohn's disease in an adolescent with cystic fibrosis (CF). The patient suffered from recurrent abdominal symptoms, which were attributed to distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) until a soft tissue inflammation at the right lumbar region and iliac crest revealed an enterosubcutaneous fistula. The diagnosis of Crohn's disease was confirmed on the basis of radiological, endoscopic and histological findings. |
