First adult patient with fibrosing colonopathy.
An adult patient with cystic fibrosis and chronic abdominal complaints developed symptomatic fibrosing colonopathy several months after the beginning of high dose pancreas enzyme therapy. Despite the absence of a stricture, surgical resection was performed. Since then the abdominal complaints have not recurred.
