Abstract
Objective: To present a clinical description of the observation of a patient with Crohn’s disease (CD) with extraintestinal manifestations in the form of granulomatous alveolitis.Materials and Methods: A brief review of the literature on the current understanding of the prevalence and clinical manifestations of lung lesions in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and CD, as well as a description of a patient with this pathology with the results of autopsy is presented.Results: The rare presence of granulomatous lung lesions in a patient with CD was proved.Conclusion: Difficulties in the differential diagnosis and treatment of CD lung lesions are shown. In particular, suspicion of tuberculous lesion, lung abscess creates potential risks of generalization of the process when using such therapeutic effects as glucocorticosteroids, cytostatics, immunosuppressants, biological genetically engineered drugs and active surgical intervention. The authors hope that the described observation will alert doctors in terms of possible systemic pulmonary lesions in CD.
