  • Title: ["Metastatic" Crohn's disease of the penis].
    Author: Bloget F, Bisiau S, Delaporte E, Mazeman E, Cortot A, Gosselin B.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1996 Sep; 16(4):296-8. PubMed ID: 9172622.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory genital cutaneous involvement of Crohn's disease is a rare complication. In a 23 year old man, who had colonic Crohn's disease treated by colectomy 3 years earlier, a phimosis revealed a penile localisation of Crohn's disease. "Metastatic" locations of Crohn's disease are defined by granulomas sitting at a distance from the injured bowel. Their clinical manifestations are misleading and their course is independent of the digestive disease. In our patient, after failure of classical therapy, cyclosporin A permitted a slow regression.
