Chronic linear ulcerations of the inguino-crural and buttocks folds.

Vulvo-perineal Crohn's disease is a rare condition either when it is isolated or associated with digestive manifestations. In the former condition named metastatic Crohn's disease, it may constitute a diagnostic challenge and may be confused especially with other infectious or inflammatory disorders. We report a case of vulvo-perineal Crohn's disease in a 46-year-old woman.

Vulvoperineal Crohn's disease: response to metronidazole.

A 46-year-old woman with a medical history of chronic juvenile arthritis with bilateral prosthetic hips presented with vulvoperineal ulcerations of 3 years' duration. There was no diarrhea or recent weight loss. Cutaneous examination showed asymmetrical vulvar edema of the labia minora and labia majora with deep and linear ulcerations having verrucous borders located on the inguinocrural regions and the buttocks fold (Figure 1).
