OBJECTIVE: Perform a literature review of case studies on pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) associated with burns, and compare the results with a clinical case study on PG in a patient with wounds, published by the authors in this same article. METHOD: PubMed, ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey were searched for articles between June 2006 and July 2020. Of 831 articles, only 43 met the inclusion criteria. Nine articles, with 17 case studies, were included. The authors' case study was also evaluated (C18)...
