    AbstractCrohn's disease can be associated with several respiratory manifestations. We report here a case of pulmonary migratory infiltrates associated with bilateral pleural thickening and peripheral eosinophilia. The histopathological findings show an association of necrotizing nodules, eosinophilic infiltration in the non-abscessed lung tissue, areas of non-caseating epithelioid granulomas, and an extensive pleural fibrosis. The different histopathological findings are detailed and the responsibility of either Crohn's disease or treatment by mesalazine is discussed.Copyright 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel
