摘要
We report a case of the superficial granulomatous (vegetating) form of pyoderma gangrenosum, involving the forehead and the left temporal area in a 44-year-old woman. No association with other pathologies could be found. Lesions responded dramatically to systemic ciclosporine (5 mg/kg/day), and complete healing was reached after 6 months. Doses were tapered progressively. Treatment was discontinued after 4.5 years. Discontinuation was not followed by recurrence of the disease. Healing is maintained after another 4.5 yea rs of for low-up. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
