Vulvar inflammation as the only clinical manifestation of Crohn disease in an 8-year-old girl

Shannon L Corbett et al. Pediatrics. 2010 Jun.

Abstract

Recognition of Crohn disease in children who present with cutaneous vulvar lesions as their initial clinical manifestation is often difficult. We report here the case of an 8-year-old girl with chronic vulvar edema, which on biopsy revealed granulomatous inflammation of the vulva. Further investigation and biopsy of the terminal ileum demonstrated similar findings and was consistent with a diagnosis of Crohn disease.
