Aseptic Abscess Syndrome: A Case Report of a Rare Extraintestinal Manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Aseptic hepatic abscesses are a highly uncommon phenomenon and even more rare in the spectrum of extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease. Part of the spectrum of "neutrophilic disease," both the pathogenesis and the optimal management of these aseptic abscesses remain unclear. In the context of inflammatory bowel disease, sometimes these abscesses appear despite normal endoscopic findings.

Case presentation

We describe a highly uncommon case of aseptic hepatic abscess formation in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease.

Conclusion

In doing so, we investigated the concept of "aseptic abscess syndrome" as it relates to similar autoimmune conditions.
