title: Metastatic crohn's disease--penile and scrotal involvement.
abstract: Crohn's disease is a chronic granulomatous disorder, which may involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. Although extraintestinal manifestations are frequent, involvement of skin distant to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. We report a case of Crohn's disease affecting penile and scrotal skin.
