Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Dermatology
Histopathology

Background:

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Metastatic Crohn's disease is characterized by granulomatous cutaneous lesions distant from the gastrointestinal tract.

Observation:

A rare case of Crohn's disease with metastatic ulcerations affecting the vulva, perineum, submammary folds, groins, and abdominal fold is presented.
Literature review identified only 26 previously reported similar cases.

Findings:

The case highlights the diverse clinical presentations of Crohn's disease.
The histological findings confirmed granulomatous inflammation in the cutaneous lesions.

Implications:

This case contributes to the limited understanding of metastatic Crohn's disease.

The study emphasizes metronidazole as an effective treatment option for this rare manifestation.

Further research is warranted to explore the pathogenesis and optimal management strategies.
