Picture This
This patient has seen doctors for years without a diagnosis. She has crampy abdominal pain, fatigue, nonbloody diarrhea, weight loss, and fever. She attributes her weight loss to mouth pain and pain with swallowing. A colonoscopic image is shown below as are two interesting skin rashes.
Challenge: What's the diagnosis?

The first image shows a serpiginous ulcer; the second image shows erythema nodosum; the third image shows pyoderma gangrenosum. This is consistent with Crohn's disease.
