description Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare extraintestinal complication of Crohn's disease (CD), and the clinical and laboratory findings may emulate the reactivation of CD, therefore, delaying diagnosis. In this paper the patient presented with PLA as the initial manifestation of CD and experienced severe disease.

The diagnosis of CD was made after colonoscopy and histological investigations.
