Erythema nodosum is an acute, nodular, erythematous eruption usually limited to the extensor aspects of the lower legs. It could be idiopathic or associated with other systemic diseases. We, herein, report a phenotypically healthy, ten-year-old boy who presented with erythema nodosum in whom serological tests of autoimmunity and intestinal histological examination were compatible with celiac disease. The eruption resolved within 2 months following a gluten-free diet. Therefore, the possibility that erythema nodosum represents an extraintestinal manifestation of celiac disease should be kept in mind accordingly in cases where other common causes of this rash are ruled out.

Background: Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) significantly affect the life quality of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are crucial factors impacting occurrence rates and mortality among IBD patients. This study performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationships between genetically predicted IBD and the development of EIMs, including erythema nodosum (EN), episcleritis, scleritis, uveitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and spondyloarthritis. To further investigate differences between subtypes, separate analyses were conducted for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).
