ABSTRACT
En el curso de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal pueden aparecer múltiples manifestaciones extraintestinales, y las cutáneas son bastante habituales tanto en la colitis ulcerosa como en la enfermedad de Crohn. El pioderma gangrenoso y el eritema nodoso son las más frecuentes, y existen otras manifestaciones cutáneas muy poco frecuentes, como la vasculitis leucocitoclástica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente en el que se diagnosticó de forma simultánea la enfermedad de Crohn y la vasculitis cutánea, con mejoría clínica significativa de ambos cuadros tras instaurar tratamiento con corticoides (AU)
In the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) a number of extraintestinal manifestations are known to occur, being the dermatological ones often associated to both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Pyoderma gangrenosum and erythema nodosum are the most frequent, but there are other skin manifestations less frequently reported such as leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We present a case, in which Crohn's disease and leukocytoclastic vasculitis were simultaneously diagnosed, and corticoids treatment achieved complete remission of the both cutaneous and gastrointestinal manifestations (AU)
