Abstract

Crohn's disease is a chronic granulomatous disorder that may involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. Extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease such as erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum are well recognized and appreciated. However, metastatic Crohn's disease (MCD), defined as the same granulomatous inflammation seen in Crohn's disease but at a skin site distant to the gastrointestinal tract, is less well recognized. We report three cases of MCD involving the perianal and vulvar skin that initially presented with vulvar pain.
