Vulval Intestinal/Enteric Heterotopia in a Patient with Crohn's Disease.
Jean-Christophe NoëlCristina RoteaLaurine VersetXavier CatteauPublished in: Case reports in pathology (2020)
Intestinal/enteric heterotopia of the vulva is an extremely rare disease with only 3 cases described in the literature. We report here an unusual case of this disease occurring in a 26-year-old patient in a context of Crohn's disease. To the best of our knowledge, such type of association has not been previously described. The potential origins of these lesions including metaplastic transformation, dysontogenetic changes, or epithelial colonic displacement/implantation are discussed.
