[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 57-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of blisters and erosions on her oral mucosa with bilateral conjunctivitis and symblephara formation. A diagnosis of cicatricial pemphigoid was made based on the clinical features and immunohistological findings. A multidisciplinary team managed her with different topical and systemic immunosuppressive agents but she finally succumbed due to multi-organ failure secondary to sepsis.Hong Kong medical journal = Xianggang yi xue za zhi / Hong Kong Academy of Medicine 05/2007; 13(2):157-60. -
Article: Metastatic Crohn's disease in a Chinese girl.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Metastatic Crohn's disease, in which non-caseating granulomatous infiltration of the skin occurs at sites separated from the gastro-intestinal tract by normal tissue, is the least common dermatologic manifestation of Crohn's disease. We report a 15-year-old girl with metastatic Crohn's disease presenting as granulomatous vulvar papules and nodules with typical histopathologic features. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of metastatic Crohn's disease in Chinese children reported in the English medical literature.Hong Kong medical journal = Xianggang yi xue za zhi / Hong Kong Academy of Medicine 01/2007; 12(6):467-9.
