Metastatic Crohn's disease without intestinal clinical manifestation

The authors report the case of a 47-year-old female patient with dispersed ulcerated skin lesions that appeared 7 years before medical follow-up. Histopathological and endoscopic findings of such lesions led to the diagnosis of a rare disorder: metastatic Crohn’s disease. This diagnosis is even more relevant because there is no case report in the literature of Crohn’s disease restricted to cutaneous lesions, without major gastro-intestinal complaints.

Crohn disease; Fistula; Granuloma
