Abstract
|
|
|
We report a case of erythema nodosum associated with ulcerative colitis which occurred in a 13-year-old girl who showed well demarcated, painful, erythematous nodules and plaques on both upper and lower extremities. The patient also experienced
frequent
intermittent abdominal pain and bloody stools for about 1 year.
Laboratory findings revealed polymorphonuclear leukocytosis and occult blood in the stool. Findings of sigmoidoscopy, barium enema, and rectal biopsy were consisitent with ulcerative colitis.
A skin biopsy from the lesion on the fight shin revealed a moderate inflammatory cell infiltrate in the septa of the subcutaneous fat layer, composed chiefly of lymphohistiocytes and a few epitheloid cells.
The symptoms and signs responded well to orally administered prednisolone and sulfasalazine.
