Abstract

Cutaneous granuloma formation distant from the gastrointestinal tract in patients with Crohn's disease of the bowel has been called metastatic Crohn's disease. We report two patients with this entity, including the first to present with an erysipelas-like eruption of the face. A review of the world's literature reveals that all patients with metastatic Crohn's disease have had gastrointestinal disease involving the colon or rectum. Clinical features of the nine previously reported cases are reviewed.
