“…La biopsia de la úlcera principal y luego de las lesiones del dorso fueron inespecíficas, lo que se considera lo habitual 6 .

Giant pyoderma gangrenosum associated with an inflammatory bowel diseaseBackground: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis that presents as an inflammatory and ulcerative disorder of the skin. Case report: We report a 23 years old male subjected to a total colectomy and ileostomy due to a toxic megacolon associated with an inflammatory bowel disease. Ten months later, he suffered an infected abdominal wall dehiscence after a surgical intervention for a bowel obstruction. The patient presented confluent ulcerated skin lesions surrounding the ileostomy and drainage sites, associated with severe malaise and without response to antimicrobial treatment. Presuming the presence of a giant and fulminant pyoderma gangrenosum associated with Crohn's disease, the patient was treated with adrenal steroids and immunosuppressive agents. One month later an enterocutaneous fistula appeared. Thereafter the patient experienced a slow but progressive recovery with a complete healing of the skin lesion and closure of enterocutaneous fistula after four years of immunosuppressive and anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment. The basis of the treatment of this patient was the use of immunosuppressive agents.

Al igual que la enfermedad de Behçet, el pioderma gangrenoso tiene fenómeno de patergia pudiendo aparecer en zonas de traumatismo (incluyendo heridas quirúrgicas), aunque también aparece espontáneamente sin antecedente traumático (1,2).…”

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, non-infection, ulcerating skin disease, included into neutrophilic dermatosis. The pathogenesis of pyoderma gangrenosum has not been determined yet, but it might be related to the immunologic mechanism. The breast localization is unusual, appearing after surgery in most of cases due to the phatergy phenomenon but it can also appear unexpectedly. We report a case of bilateral postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum of the breast in a patient with breast cancer subjected to mastectomy with reconstruction. The case is wrongly diagnosed as surgical wound dehiscence leading to several debridements that exacerbate the problem and delay the diagnosis by more than one year. After several treatments, it was decided to start with infliximab therapy due to the refractoriness of the process, evolving satisfactorily. The aim of investigating this case is to be able to detect the disease early, to prevent physical and psychological harm.
