The inflammatory bowel disease is accompanied by cutaneous manifestations in approximately 10% of the cases. Neutrophilic dermatoses are located on the dermis and/or epidermis and are characterised on histological examination by the presence of an infiltrate that consists largely of neutrophils. The prototype of neutrophilic dematoses is Sweetacute;s syndrome; which is rarely associated with Croh?s disease. CASE REPORT: A 63 year old woman was admitted to hospital with pyrexia, abdominal pain, episcleritis and skin lesions. She presented erythematous lesions on trunk, legs and arms, with tendency towards formation of plaques, nodules and vesicular pustular lesions. Both the colonoscopy and colonic biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of colonic Croh?s disease. Cutaneous biopsies re-vealed an infiltrate consisting mainly of neutrophils. These biopsies, together with clinical details led to the diagnosis of Sweetacute;s syndrome. A methylprednisolone treatment rapidly improved the skin lesions and clinical symptoms. The different clinical forms of neutrophilic dermatosis are an extra intestinal manifestation of Croh?s disease, and are some-times found concurrently in the same patient, which would indicate a common pathogenesis with different clinical presentations (spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses).
