The exact etiology of IPT remains unclear. Although the association of IPT with systemic inflammatory disorders has been established, a specific link with Crohns disease is rare. We report two cases of IPT associated with Crohns disease. Both patients were elderly males who presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. At the time of presentation, both had active Crohns disease that was undiagnosed. Computed tomography demonstrated a liver mass, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography revealed biliary strictures in both patients. Given their symptomatic jaundice and concern for cholangiocarcinoma, they underwent abdominal surgical exploration and pathology results revealed IPT. They were subsequently diagnosed with Crohns disease. Following treatment of Crohns disease, there was significant improvement in their overall clinical status. An underlying diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease should be considered in patients with IPT.展开更多
