J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 1989 Nov;9(4):528-31. doi: 10.1097/00005176-198911000-00024.

Abstract

We report on three patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) who developed gastrointestinal symptoms of Crohn's disease (CD). Two patients developed enteroenteric or enterocutaneous fistulas. The diagnosis of CD is based on typical endoscopic, radiologic, and histological features of epithelioid granulomas in two children.
