[Cutaneous metastatic Crohn disease. Apropos of a case].
The authors report the case of a 54-year old man suffering from facial papulonodular eruption. He has Crohn's disease which was diagnosed 36 years ago. There were no clinical symptoms of the disease when the cutaneous manifestations occurred. The biopsy of a cutaneous lesion showed cutaneous granuloma at skin's level. Having no other etiology, we shall diagnose it as a cutaneous metastatic Crohn's disease. Derived sulfasalazine (Pentasa) healed all lesions in 1 month. This observation reminded us to that it is essential to biopsy all atypical cutaneous lesions occurring in a Crohn's disease case.
