We describe a 62-year old man diagnosed with pyoderma gangrenosum following a traumatic injury to the hand. The patient was originally misdiagnosed with cellulitis and his condition did not improve with oral or intravenous antibiotics. The wound dramatically improved following institution of intravenous steroids. Pyoderma gangrenosum should be considered in the differential of a non-healing cel...

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an inflammatory disease that has been found to be associated with many systemic illnesses. The case presented here is of a man with a 20-year history of hidradenitis suppurativa who developed pyoderma gangrenosum. The pyoderma lesions appeared as a single outbreak which resolved totally after immunosuppressive treatment. This association has been reported only rarely in ...

PG: Pyoderma gangrenosum CTCL: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma IL: Interleukin INTRODUCTION Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis characterized classically by the development of rapidly expanding painful ulcerations often on the lower extremities. Although most commonly associatedwith inflammatory bowel disease, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or monoclonal gammop...

Erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum are common skin manifestations in inflammatory bowel diseases. Curiously, these two cutaneous features have seldom been reported to occur simultaneously. We present three patients affected with inflammatory bowel disease with concomitant erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare ulcerative skin disorder mainly occurring in adults. It is seen less frequently in children. The cause is unknown but it may occur in association with several disorders. Osteomyelitis is a very rare association. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum associated with osteomyelitis in a two-year-old girl.

Cutaneous blastomycosis (CB) is associated with a variety of skin manifestations. Among other entities, CB may be mistaken for pyoderma gangrenosum due to overlap of findings on histopathologic examination. We report a case of CB, initially diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum and treated with steroids, leading to disseminated blastomycosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

A case is presented of pyoderma gangrenosum, describing its characteristic features with particular reference to the phenomenon of pathergy, which considerably limits the surgical approach to the disease. After an account of the numerous skin ulcerations that have to be taken into consideration in order to make a differential diagnosis, it is noted that pyoderma gangrenosum can only on rare occ...

BACKGROUND Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, ulcerative cutaneous condition that was first described by Brocq in 1916. This diagnosis is quite challenging as the histopathological findings are nonspecific. Pyoderma gangrenosum is usually associated with inflammatory bowel disease, leukemia, and hepatitis C. We describe a rare clinical case of a patient with hepatitis C (HCV), mixed cryoglubinemia...

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare autoinflammatory syndrome manifested by skin lesions eventually creating ulcers. Surgical management can lead to scarring and contracture at the site of the lesion due to the pathergy phenomenon. A 43-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of severe equinovarus deformity due to chronic pyoderma gangrenosum on her posteromedial ankle. She underwent a staged...
