title: Hysterosalpingographic diagnosis of Crohn's disease. A case report.
abstract: A woman presented with abdominal pain, weight loss and a pelvic mass. At the time of laparotomy she had a lower abdominal abscess from perforation of the ileum. Two years later she returned with a tender uterus and purulent cervical discharge. A hysterosalpingogram demonstrated an uteroileal fistula secondary to Crohn's disease, and the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
