UNLABELLED: Gangrenous pyoderma is a rare complication of surgical treatment mimicking bacterial necrotizing fasciitis. The characteristic symptoms include a pre-existing immune disorder, negative results of the relevant microbiological examinations, no response to any antibiotic therapy, and deteriorating of the condition after radical debridement. Another typical feature is a discrepancy between an ominous appearance of the wound accompanied by leucocytosis and an elevated CRP level, and the patient s good general condition with low-grade fever and no signs of sepsis...

Here, we report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the penis which was difficult to distinguish from Fournier gangrene. The patient was a 54-year-old male who was aware of redness and swelling of the glanspenis for 1 month prior to a consultation at our department. Although he was diagnosed with herpes and treated at a nearby hospital, his symptoms did not improve. Subsequently, the patient visited our department following the onset of pain and fever. During his initial consultation, he had a fever of 39 °C as well as redness and swelling of the glans penis with partial spontaneous purulent discharge...

Inflammatory bowel diseases can commonly present many cutaneous lesions which can contribute to the diagnosis of the disease or its activity. The most frequent cutaneous or mucocutaneous manifestations suggesting ulcerative rectocolitis activity are erythema nodosum (3-10%), pyoderma gangrenosum (5-12%) and aphthous stomatitis (4%). Other reactive skin manifestations related to immunological mechanisms associated with the inflammatory bowel disease are: Sweet's syndrome, arthritis-dermatitis syndrome associated with inflammatory bowel disease and leukocytoclastic vasculitis...

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare chronic destructive inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of nodules and pustules with progressively enlarging ulcers and orcutaneous necrosis. In most cases PG is idiopathic, but sometimes it is associated with conditions that often have vasculitis, such as gammapathies, inflammatory bowel diseases or chronic arthritis. PG is neither infectious nor gangrenous,but some authors advanced the theory that an infectious etiology (streptococci and staphylococci) could be incriminated...

Leg ulcers are often complicated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however, the etiology is multifactorial. We examined the cases of leg ulceration or gangrene in seven RA patients who were hospitalized over the past 3 years. One patient was diagnosed as having pyoderma gangrenosum. Although vasculitis was suspected in three patients, no histological evidence was obtained from the skin specimens. In these patients, angiography revealed the stenosis or occlusion of digital arteries. In the remaining three patients, leg ulcers were considered to be due to venous insufficiency...

Gangrenous pyoderma (GP) is a rare infectious disease typically manifesting itself by utterly painful crural ulcers. Currently, the disease is considered to be most likely of an autoimmune origin. The author presents herein a case report describing key diagnostic and treatment decisions regarding a 30-year-old woman suffering from extensive crural ulcers. Of special interest was the finding that this patient's ultrasonographic duplex scanning showed the signs corresponding to postthrombotic disease. However, conventional treatment of venous trophic ulcers turned out inefficient...

The differential of scalp ulceration in older patients should include several causes, such as herpes zoster, irritant contact dermatitis, ulcerated skin tumors, postirradiation ulcers, microbial infections, pyoderma gangrenosum, and giant cell arteritis. Scalp necrosis associated with giant cell arteritis was first described in the 1940s. The presence of this dermatological sign within giant cell arteritis represents a severity marker of this disease, with a higher mean age at diagnosis, an elevated risk of vision loss and tongue gangrene, as well as overall higher mortality rates, in comparison to patients not presenting this manifestation...

Acute cutaneous necrosis is defined as a sudden onset of gangrenous skin changes in the skin, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The following diseases are included in this discussion: coumadin necrosis, heparin necrosis, brown recluse spider bite, necrotizing fasciitis, vasculitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, calciphylaxis, clotting abnormalities and embolic phenomena. The importance of early diagnosis, early distinction and early drug therapy or drug withdrawal must match the diagnosis for maximal preservation of the skin and underlying tissue...

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a rare, distinctive skin disorder associated with potentially fatal underlying pseudomonal sepsis. Although typically occurring in neutropenic or immunocompromised patients, it can occasionally affect healthy children. The appearances are characteristic with small indurated vesicular papules progressing rapidly to infarcted necrotic areas with surrounding erythema and a typical black eschar. In young children, these are often accompanied by fever and diarrhoea. The absence of suppuration and slough distinguishes it from the more recognized pyoderma gangrenosum...

It is occasionally difficult to distinguish between Behcet's disease (BD) and pyoderma gangrenous (PG). Our case showed ulcers of the oral, vaginal and perineal areas, and in the ileum, thus resulting in our initial diagnosis of BD. However, the patient showed a continued leukopenia, and she was subsequently diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy as having a myelodysplastic syndrome, which will sometimes accompany PG. In addition, following a hysterectomy, the ulcers of the stump in the vagina and the perineum showed the characteristic findings of a PG-like destructive ulceration...

We describe the medical-surgical management of a patient with a complex inflammatory bowel disease who developed 2 acute episodes of pyoderma gangrenosum and enterocutaneous fistulas after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. The rarity of this postsurgical complication is emphasized. A good response to topical tacrolimus was achieved in cutaneous wounds. A less favorable response to infliximab was achieved in the abdominal fistulas, requiring surgical excision of the pouch.

This report describes a patient with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) complicated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) followed by rapidly progressing pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL). A 74-year-old man was admitted with cutaneous gangrene associated with MDS. We diagnosed him as having PG, and high-dose oral prednisolone was started. Two months after admission he developed lymphoma rapidly. The patient died in spite of radiation therapy. On autopsy, the pathological diagnosis was diffuse large cell lymphoma. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded RNA, and EBV-encoded nuclear antigen (EBNA) were detected in lymphoma cells...

Juvenile gangrenous vasculitis of the scrotum was described by Piñol et al in 1974 as a unique variant of scrotal gangrene of unknown origin, occurring exclusively in young individuals. It was characterized by an acute onset of skin ulcers undergoing complete resolution after appropriate therapy, with no relapses. We present a typical case of this extremely rare disease affecting a 16-year-old boy in whom the scrotal ulcerations were preceded by an episode of pharyngitis with fever. The condition promptly regressed after administration of intramuscular betamethasone in combination with oral ciprofloxacin...

When considering common bacterial diseases of the skin, rather distinct clinical responses to a variety of bacterial infections have been identified. In these cases, it is the specific site of infection and the attendant inflammatory responses that provide the characteristic clinical picture. When the pyoderma extends just below the stratum corneum, it is called impetigo. Nonbullous impetigo is the most common pediatric skin infection. It usually starts in a traumatized area. The typical lesion begins as an erythematous papule, after which it becomes a unilocular vesicle...

We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the penis presenting as Fournier's gangrene. A 77-year-old man who had undergone radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer 16 month earlier, presented with penile pain and fever. Symptoms began with erythema and induration on the dorsal surface of the penile shaft followed by spontaneous purulent drainage with severe pain. Magnetic resonance imaging was unremarkable except for swelling of the penile skin. Biopsy of the ulcerative penile lesion demonstrated a nonspecific inflammation without vasculitis or malignancy...

Thrombotic events are frequent in polycythemia vera (PV) and in essential thrombocythemia (ET). The frequency of thrombotic complications at presentation of PV and ET is nearly 50%. The spectrum of thrombotic complications is broad: thrombosis of arteries, veins and microvessels have been reported. Venous thrombosis can involve all territories but PV and TE are the commonest underlying etiology for Budd-Chiari Syndrome and splanchnic veins thrombosis. Endogenous erythroid-colony formation may be seen in up to 78% of patients thought to have Budd Chiari Syndrome and in 48% of splanchnic veins thrombosis...
