  • Title: Granulomatous vulvitis, granulomatous cheilitis: a single diagnosis?
    Author: Thiriar S, Deroux E, Dourov N, Evrard L, Peny MO, Simon P, Parent D.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1998; 196(4):455-8. PubMed ID: 9669130.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of labial swelling (oral and vulvar) with a granulomatous histology in patients with a history of Crohn's disease. The differential diagnosis of granulomatous vulvitis and cheilitis, as well as the symptomatology and treatment of vulvar and oral Crohn's disease are further discussed. To our knowledge, reported cases of vulvar and oral Crohn's disease are quite scarce in the literature, but the disease might be underdiagnosed. We hope to contribute to an earlier recognition and a better management of the vulvar and oral mucocutaneous lesions of Crohn's disease.
