Managing metastatic Crohn's disease : a single center experience, review of the current evidence, and treatment algorithm
BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that, besides gastrointestinal symptoms, may encompass extra-intestinal symptoms, such as dermatological manifestations. Of those, metastatic CD (MCD) is a rare extra-intestinal manifestation for which the management is uncertain.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective case series of patients with MCD seen at the University hospital Leuven, Belgium, combined with an overview of the recent literature. Electronic medical records were searched from January 2003 till April 2022. For the literature search, Medline, Embase, Trip Database, and The Cochrane Library were searched from inception to April 1, 2022.
RESULTS: A total of 11 patients with MCD were retrieved. In all cases noncaseating granulomatous inflammation was found on skin biopsies. Two adults and one child were diagnosed with MCD prior to their diagnosis of CD. Seven patients were treated with steroids (intralesional, topical or systemic). Six patients needed a biological therapy to treat MCD. Surgical excision was performed in three patients. All patients reported a successful outcome and most cases achieved remission. The literature search yielded 53 articles, including three reviews, three systematic reviews, 30 case reports and six case series. A treatment algorithm was generated based on literature and multidisciplinary discussion.
CONCLUSION: MCD remains a rare entity and diagnosis is often difficult. A multidisciplinary approach including skin biopsy is necessary to diagnose and treat MCD efficiently. Outcome is generally favorable, and lesions respond well to steroids and biologicals. We propose a treatment algorithm based on the available evidence and multidisciplinary discussion.
