Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that is commonly known to affect the ileum and colon. Aseptic abscess (AA) has been pathologically described as sterile abscess with a predominance of polymorphonuclear leucocyte infiltrates, and is considered a rare extraintestinal manifestation of CD. AA presents a great challenge to physicians in determining if it is an extraintestinal manifestation of CD or an actual infection with pathogenic microorganisms. There is a strong association between CD and psoriasis. But the coexistence of AA and psoriasis in CD was unusual. Ustekinumab, as an IL 12/23 inhibitor, is the only treatment with a similar mechanism currently available for both CD and psoriasis. We report a case of successful use of ustekinumab to treat a CD patient with hepatic AA and psoriasis.
