Abstract: | A case of vulval Crohn's disease in childhood is presented. The presentation of this disease as a vulval lesion is well recognised, either as the initial complaint, or as a metastatic lesion. Crohn's disease in childhood is well recognised and up to 49% of sufferers may have perianal disease. Vulval Crohn's disease in children, however, is uncommon, especially when it is the presenting symptom. |
