Pyoderma gangrenosum in abdominoplasty: a case report

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a disease characterized by painful ulcers, with imprecise borders of various sizes and depth. The diagnosis is essentially clinical and often exclusionary. The treatment is not specific. Surgical debridement is not indicated because of its potential pathergy. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient who underwent abdominoplasty.
