Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) represents one of the rare extra-digestive cutaneous manifestations encountered in this condition, whose therapeutic management remains nonstandardized and generally responds favorably to treatment of the digestive disease flare. We report the case of a 19-year-old female patient diagnosed for Crohn's disease, in whom the diagnosis of leukocytoclastic vasculitis was established via skin biopsy during the initial presentation of Crohn’s disease.
