Abstract :
Cutaneous Crohn’s disease (CCD) is a relatively rare disease.
Two-thirds of the affected patients are female with a mean age
of onset of 35 years. CCD is divided into a genital type and an
extra-genital type, each with their own unique different clinical
manifestations. The usual presentation of genital Crohn’s disease
(CD) is in the form of erythema and edema of the labia and
scrotum. Here, we have reported the rare case of a patient with
late-onset genital CCD. The patient was a 61-year-old woman
with a history of chemotherapy for breast cancer. She presented
with genital, intergluteal, and perianal ulcers without any fistula,
sinus or scars, which was treated as an unusual presentation of
CD. The patient has not had any intestinal manifestation during
three years of follow-up.
