Core Tip

Core Tip: Pyoderma vegetans (PV) is not a common extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis (UC), while nasal mucosa PV associated with UC is particularly rare. We present herein a rare case of PV with nasal pain that evolved in a patient with ulcerative colitis. A nasal lesion could be observed in her nose and histopathological examination was indicative of PV. This case highlights that inflammatory bowel disease patients presenting with nasal pain should be further investigated to rule out the coexistence of nasal mucosa PV.
