What Causes A Lump On The Upper Chest When Suffering From Crohn S Disease?
I have active Crohn s disease and my wbc has elevated to over 21 thousand in a matter of 2days. I also have a lump on upper chest size of a half dollar. Could the two be related some how? I had an ultrasound done today. Just waiting for those results.

Hello,
It could be erythema nodosum like skin lesion.
It can be related to Crohn's disease.
The Crohn's disease can have extraintestinal manifestation as well. So this could be one of them.
Kindly revert back with USG report once done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
