Case report: abscess of the adductor muscles of the thigh--an unusual complication of Crohn's disease.
The occurrence of a Crohn's abscess involving the hamstring muscle group has not been reported previously. We report this diagnosis in a patient with ileocolonic Crohn's disease who had presented earlier with a presacral abscess.
