| Abstract |
|
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, often destructive, neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by painful, necrotic superficial
ulceration, central suppurative exudate and a peripheral undermined border. Five clinical variants are recently recognized as
follows: classic(ulcerative), bullous, pustular, vegetative and peristomal types. Pyoderma gangrenosum is often a diagnosis of
exclusion, as there are no specific laboratory or histopathologic findings to confirm the diagnosis. Accordingly, it is difficult to
diagnose, and often requires a work-up for underlying systemic diseases. Mimickers include infection, vascular insufficiency,
systemic vasculitides, autoimmune disease, skin cancer or exogenous tissue injury. Herein, we present two cases of ulcerative
pyoderma gangrenosum occurring on the legs, along with a comprehensive review. |
