摘要
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an autoinflammatory skin disease, and there is no definitive test or established criterion for its diagnosis yet. This report discusses a case of a 34-year-old male patient who presented with an unassuming lesion that quickly worsened with physical manipulation. He was eventually diagnosed with PG. This report highlights the importance of a quick and accurate diagnosis of PG to prevent the worsening of a PG wound and its associated morbidity. It provides a detailed description of the condition accompanied by images to further spread awareness of this rare diagnosis.
