A 35-year-old man with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related complex was evaluated for a persistent urethral discharge, pneumaturia and watery diarrhea. Radiographic and endoscopic procedures established the diagnosis of a rectourethral fistula. Perineal exploration and excision of the fistula revealed the pathological diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma. The differential diagnosis of an acquired rectourethral fistula and the significance of Kaposi's sarcoma are discussed.

We report a case of a recto-urethral fistula in Crohn's disease. In our case, suprapubic cystostomy, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and azathioprine led to complete remission. Recto-urethral fistulas due to Crohn's disease are very uncommon. Pneumaturia, faecaluria, urinary tract infection, dysuria, and urethral discharge are the most common complaints. After complete diagnostics, immunosuppressive therapy in complicated Crohn's disease is of increasing importance. It is recommended to continue treatment after healing to prevent further complications.
