摘要
Introduction. - Extra-intestinal manifestations of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) are various. Cases of genital lymphedema has previously been reported in Crohn's disease. Case reports. - We report two women aged 57 and 68 years who presented with a lower limb lymphedema 8 and 20 years after a diagnosis of CIBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), respectively. At the time of diagnosis of lymphedema, CIBD was asymptomatic. Conclusion. - Pathophysiological mechanisms of this rare manifestation are unclear and lymphedema outcome is unrelated to CIBD activity.
