Abstract

The authors experienced a case of ulcerative colitis associated with pretibial erythema nodosum. A 12-year old male patient was admitted to our department beacause of loose stool and abdominal pain for 3 month. We diagnosed it throuth the evaluation of clinical and radiographic features including colon study. Colonoscopic and histopathologic findings aid to the confirmation of the diagnosis. A brief review of the related literatures was made.
