Abstract
Some dermatologic manifestations are common in ulcerative colitis (UC).
Herein, we present a 36-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis and uncommon
nasal mucosa pyoderma vegetans. The patient presented to our hospital with
symptoms of active colitis and a concomitant 3×4×5 cm dermato-mucosal lesion
in her left nasal lumen. After surgery of the mucosal lesion, the treatment
for her active colitis was initiated with intravenous infliximab and oral asacol.
After a 1-year follow-up, no sign of recurrence favoring mucosal lesion was
noted and symptoms of ulcerative colitis were managed properly.
