Metastatic Crohn's disease is a rare skin manifestation, defined by granulomatous
skin lesions that are discontinuous to the affected gastrointestinal tract and
histopathologically resembling inflammatory bowel lesions. Up to 44% of patients
with Crohn's disease have cutaneous manifestations, of which metastatic lesions
are the least common. We present a case of an adolescent with refractory Crohn's
disease and persistent papules and plaques on the skin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
