Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous metastatic Crohn's disease (CMCD) is a rare granulomatous skin inflammation distinct from the gastrointestinal tract.
  • It presents a diagnostic challenge due to non-specific, erysipela-like symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old man with known Crohn's disease presented with antibiotic-resistant erysipela-like dermo-hypodermitis.
  • Skin biopsy revealed granulomatous lesions without identifiable infectious agents.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of CMCD was confirmed by characteristic granulomatous dermal infiltration.
  • The patient showed significant improvement with corticosteroid therapy.

Implications:

  • Skin biopsy is essential for undiagnosed skin lesions in Crohn's disease patients.

  • Corticosteroids are recommended, while antibiotics and surgery may be inappropriate for CMCD.
