Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon ulcerative cutaneous condition of uncertain etiology. It was first described in 1930. It is associated with systemic diseases in at least 50% of patients who are affected. The diagnosis is made by excluding other causes of similar appearing cutaneous ulcerations, including infection, malignancy, vasculitis, collagen vascular diseases, diabetes, and trauma. The prognosis of pyoderma gangrenosum is generally good; however, recurrences may occur and residual scarring is common. Therapy involves the use of anti-inflammatory agents, such as corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents.
