[Papulopustular eruption in intestinal inflammatory disease].

Abstract

We report a patient that fulfills the clinical features of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn) who develops papulopustular lesions, some of which evolve into erythematous plaques with pustules and other into superficial ulcers. The different cutaneous manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease, are reviewed, an entity which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as the previously reported cases which developed papulopustular lesions emphasizing their similarities and their differences to our patients and also its probable relationship to malignant pyoderma.
