Abstract
The association of Crohn's disease (CD) and Sweet's syndrome is rare and
the presence of Sjögren's syndrome in Crohn's disease is even rarer, with only
three reports found in the literature. We describe two cases of Crohn's disease
associated with Sweet's syndrome, one of which is the first case of CD and
Sweet's concomitantly associated with Sjögren's syndrome. Both cases
responded rapidly to Infliximab therapy with complete resolution of the skin lesions.
