Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, immune-mediated ulcerating skin disease. In up to 50 percent of the cases, PG is associated with underlying systemic disorders, most commonly inflammatory bowel diseases, connective tissue diseases, or hematological disorders. Herein, we present a case of refractory PG associated with ulcerative colitis (UC), successfully treated with infliximab.
