Article Synopsis
- A 35-year-old woman with Crohn's disease (CD) developed a unique skin lesion on her forehead two years after undergoing surgery to manage her CD symptoms, which had previously been under control.
- Histological analysis of her intestinal samples confirmed ongoing chronic granulomatous inflammation linked to CD, while a skin biopsy revealed small granulomas without signs of foreign bodies.
- This case highlights the rare occurrence of metastatic Crohn's disease presenting as a skin lesion, despite the patient showing no signs of CD recurrence in her intestines post-surgery.
