| Abstrakt: | Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin disease usually associated with an underlying internal condition. Diseases most commonly linked with pyoderma gangrenosum are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and hematologic malignancies such as leukemia and lymphoma. In rare instances, it can occur as a type of paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with cancer. The most common cancers associated with pyoderma gangrenosum are breast cancer followed by rectal, gastric, renal, and lung cancers. There are scarce reports of neuroendocrine tumors associated with pyoderma gangrenosum. We discuss a case of a pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer patient afflicted with pyoderma gangrenosum.
