Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare destructive inflammatory skin disease. The lower extremities are most commonly affected, but the head and neck are rarely affected. We call the cases in which the head and neck are involved malignant pyoderma, which could be lethal. We report here on a case of malignant pyoderma in a 66-year-old man. His condition was markedly aggravatedin spite of the medical treatment. The lesions were improved by adjuvant surgery, including aggressive ulcer excision and grafting of autologous skin.
