Crohn's disease (CD), an inflammatory bowel disease that involves the gastrointestinal tract, is observed in daily hospital practice. On the other hand, metastatic Crohn's disease (MCD) is a rare entity in which cutaneous lesions are found in regions apart from the digestive system. This article describes a rare case of cutaneous CD in a Saudi female, which manifested initially as vulvar and perianal skin lesions. The diagnosis was proven by skin biopsy, and adalimumab offered effective treatment. Although cutaneous MCD is rare, it is an important cutaneous manifestation, as early detection creates the possibility of accessing effective management.
