Crohn's disease of the vulva: A tough diagnosis (a case report of a 47 y.o. patient)

Abstract

Abstract Extraintestinal symptoms of Crohn's disease may occur in the eye, the urinary system, on the skin, or subcutaneous fat. We report the case of a 7‐year diagnostic search of isolated vulvar Crohn's disease in a 47‐year‐old woman. The disease is characterized by gradual formation of pronounced bilateral asymmetric labial hypertrophy.
