A 40-yr-old man who had a known diagnosis of allergic granulomatous angitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) and had been on steroids was found to have a stone in the common bile duct. At surgery, multiple internal fistulas were found in the small bowel. Cholecystectomy, removal of the stone in the common bile duct, and resection of the small bowel because of fistulas were performed. To our knowledge, the formation of an intestinal fistula has not been reported as a clinical manifestation of allergic granulomatous angitis. This rare condition occurs in the terminal stage of this disease.
