| Popis: | A 25-year-old male patient who had a brother with Crohn's disease was referred to our clinic with bloody diarrhea and crampy abdominal pain. After a plain erect abdominal X-ray, enteroclysis was performed, followed by abdominopelvic CT. Besides the radiological features of CD, both enteroclysis and CT revealed a big polypoid filling defect in the small intestine. The patient was surgically treated and the histopathology of the specimen revealed a giant fibroid polyp superimposed on CD, an extremely rare complication heretofore unmentioned in the radiology literature. In this report we discuss the role of enteroclysis in the diagnosis of complicated cases of long-standing CD. In addition, we also shed light on the importance of both enteroclysis and CT, with their complementary findings, in the radiological diagnosis of rare complicated cases of CD. |
