Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a clinical form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presumed to have an autoimmune etiology. The coexistence of UC and aseptic subcutaneous abscess has been extremely rare and almost all are adult case reports or small series and very few pediatric cases have been reported. We describe a 15-year-old girl with UC complicated with concomitant aseptic subcutaneous abscess and arthritis. We review and discuss the subcutaneous sterile abscesses associated with UC.

Keywords: Sterile subcutaneous abscess, ulcerative colitis, child.

Ülseratif Kolit (ÜK), inflamatuvar barsak hastalığının (IBH) otoimmün etiyolojiye dayanan klinik şeklidir. ÜK ve aseptik subkutanöz absenin beraber olması genellikle erişkin hastalarda ve küçük olgu serilerinde bildirilmiştir. Çocuklarda çok az olgu bildirimi vardır. Burada on beş yaşında ÜK ile birlikte aseptik subkutanöz abse ve artriti olan bir olgu sunulmakta ve bu olgu aracılığı ile bu konu tartışılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Steril subkutanöz abse, ülseratif kolit, çocuk.
