ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Vulvar involvement is a rare complication of Crohn's disease (CD). The optimal treatment of vulvar CD is unknown.METHODS:
We conducted a 25-year retrospective cohort study of vulvar CD from 3 referral centers. Clinical features and outcomes were studied.RESULTS:
Fifty patients were identified. The most common vulvar symptoms were pain (74%), edema (60%), ulcerations (46%), nodules (36%), and abscess (34%). Medical management leading to symptomatic improvement varied, and 5 patients ultimately required surgery.DISCUSSION:
Vulvar CD manifests with a broad spectrum of symptoms. Aggressive medical management was frequently effective, although surgery was required in 10% of cases.
