| Popis: | Granulomatous cheilitis and Crohn's disease are disorders of unknown etiology. There are case reports describing their coincidence and pointing out the necessity of ruling out systemic disorders once the diagnosis of granulomatous cheilitis is made. However, such reports are few and the causal association of both diseases is controversial in the literature. We report the youngest patient so far, a 3-year-old boy, who had granulomatous cheilitis and Crohn's disease simultaneously. This coincidence so early in life strongly suggests that both represent manifestations of the same disease. |
