Abstract Epstein‐Barr virus‐related mucocutaneous ulcer lymphoma is a rare entity promoted by immunosuppression. It is less described in inflammatory bowel diseases, and mostly these are refractory diseases. CD30 acts to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) local proliferation and thus could be an interesting target. Brentuximab vedotin could become a new helpful tool.
