A 26-year-old woman, who had had Turner syndrome from age 10 years old, had diarrhea, fever, joint pain, and erythema in the lower left leg. She was given a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, erythema nodosum, and Hashimoto disease. Systemic steroid therapy was very effective for both intestinal and skin lesions. It has been reported that half of inflammatory bowel disease patients with Turner syndrome have 46XiX (q) type chromosome abnormality, and this case also has this type of abnormality.
