Abstract

 Pyoderma gangrenosum is an inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, commonly mistaken for an infection. Here we present a case of 50 year old female with painful ulcerative lesions with undermined edges and violaceous borders, with positive pathergy, diagnosed as idiopathic pyoderma gangrenosum after excluding associated systemic diseases.
