Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare idiopathic, autoimmune and inflammatory disease characterized by the development of ulcerative skin lesions. A 58 year-old woman, diagnosed with biopsy-verified PG was admitted to the Wound Center at Odense University Hospital, with rapid progression of painful, necrotic PG lesions on both crura. The lesions were treated, in collaboration with the dermatologists, with systemic steroids, topical negative pressure treatments and surgical revision in addition to partial skin graft with good results. Following the treatment the patient has been pain free and without recurrence for 11 months. |
