title: [Crohn disease found incidentally during cholecystectomy. Report of 3 cases with pronounced biliary tract problems].
abstract: Gallstones are usually present in patients with Crohn's disease involving the distal ileum. This may be due to disturbances of the enterohepatic circulation, with bile salt malabsorption and secondary precipitation of cholesterol in the gallbladder. The article describes three patients who were cholecystectomized for cholelithiasis, and where Crohn's disease was found incidentally during laparotomy.
