A 65-year-old man with stage I testicular seminoma, treated with surgery and radiation, had fever of unknown origin, adrenal insufficiency, and an isolated perianal ulcer. Tissue diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis was established by biopsy of the perianal ulcer, an unusual cutaneous manifestation of the disease. Treatment with amphotericin B resulted in rapid clinical improvement and complete healing of the perianal ulcer.

Jacquet's erosive dermatitis (JED) is a severe irritant dermatitis characterized by erosive genital and perianal lesions, often misdiagnosed due to overlapping clinical features. This case report presents two adult cases of JED with distinct clinical and dermoscopic findings. Dermoscopy revealed a characteristic polymorphic vascular pattern, including short linear, curved, coiled, dotted, and globular vessels, aiding in the diagnosis and differentiation from similar conditions.

Background: Diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) can pose challenges, particularly when perianal fistula is the initial presentation.
Aim: To develop and validate a predictive model, establishing a visual web tool for early diagnosis of CD in patients presenting with perianal fistula.
Methods: This retrospective, multicentre validation study involved patients diagnosed with either perianal fistulising CD or cryptoglandular fistula who underwent initial perianal fistula surgery subsequent to rectal MRI at three Chinese centres from September 2016 to December 2020.

Background: One in three children with Crohn's disease develop perianal fistula complications (PFCs), among the most disturbing and difficult-to-treat disease-related complications. Retrospective evidence suggests PFCs may be preventable.
Objective: We aimed to determine if early antitumour necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF⍺) therapy prevents PFC development in a well-characterised prospective cohort of paediatric patients with Crohn's disease who were free from PFC at enrolment.
