Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an uncommon hematologic malignancy in which simultaneous cutaneous disturbances of various types have been reported.¹ We report a case of a 62-year-old man with HCL who developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) at the site of incision for splenectomy. PG has been reported previously in a patient with HCL.² Since splenectomy is important in the treatment of HCL, it is important for the clinician to know that surgical wound dehiscence may not be due to poor technique nor infection, but rather to pathergy.
