Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease, which presents with extraintestinal manifestations in some cases, skin being one of the organs involved. Vulvar and perianal involvement leads to significant morbidity and has an adverse effect on the quality of life. We report a case of genital CD affecting the vulva, perianal region, and oral cavity, due to its rarity and diagnostic difficulty.
