The metastatic Crohn's disease involves granulomatous infiltration of skin in places anatomically separated from the gastrointestinal tract, with a tendency to chronicity. We report the case of male patient, 20 years old, complaining of pain and elimination of purulent secretion from ulcers in the perianal region, right inguinal and genital for six months, without improvement using metronidazole and ciprofloxacin. Previous proctocolectomy in 2002. On examination, the inspection revealed a fistulous orifice on posterior midline at 2.0 cm from the anal verge, an ulcer of 5.0 cm at the base of the scrotum and other ulcer encircling the base of the penis; on digital touch, anus fibrotic and incarcerated. Performed fistulotomy, biopsy and curettage of genital and inguinal ulcers. The histo-pathological study confirmed noncaseating granulomatous inflammatory process. Because of the failure of antimicrobial therapy, it was opted for treatment infliximab at the dose 5 mg/kg at weeks 0, 2 and 6, and azathioprine 2 mg/kg/day. In the end stage of induction, the patient had partial healing of ulcerated lesions, absence of secretion and pain relief. Currently in monitoring with outpatient infusions of infliximab every eight weeks.
