Abstract
Three cases of basal cell carcinoma in Crohn's disease patients treated with azathioprine are described. A review of the literature is conducted concerning this association between the occurrence of basal cell carcinoma and the use of azathioprine. Recently, practical advice on screening and follow-up of these situations have been proposed but there are no validated dermatological recommendations.
