[Pyoderma gangrenosum, a nonintestinal manifestation of Lesniowski-Crohn's disease in a 15 years old girl].
In the clinical course of Lesniowski-Crohn's disease in children, gastrointestinal symptoms are predominant. Extraintestinal manifestations are found rarely, contrary to adults. Pyoderma gangrenosum is hardly ever observed but frequently coexists with colon involvement. The aim of the study was a presentation of 15 years old girl with Lesniowski-Crohn's disease and predominant joint and skin symptoms in form of pyoderma gangrenosum. Skin lesions were shaped in solitary ulcerations with cyanotic undermined border localized on legs and buttocks. After steroid therapy these changes were healed with permanent blue scar. Gastrointestinal symptoms though slight were characteristic. The girl had stools with some fresh blood and perianal lesions.
