Clin Case Rep. 2022 Apr 5;10(4):e05676. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5676. eCollection 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) of the vulva is a rare and under-recognized condition. Since vulvar lesions may precede the diagnosis of digestive CD in approximately 25% of all cases, the coexistence or future onset of CD should be considered regardless of the gastrointestinal symptoms, even for pediatric patients.
