AB  - Pyoderma  gangrenosum  (PG)  is  an  inflammatory  condition  of  all  ages  but  is  most  common  among  20-  to  50-year-old  females.  Lesions  can  be  located  anywhere  (most  commonly  on  the  lower  extremities)  and  begin  as  a  papulopustule  surrounded  by  erythema.  This  pustule  erodes  and  expands  to  form  a  necrotic  ulcer.  Similar  satellite  pustules  and  ulcers  form  around  the  original  lesion  and  can  rapidly  coalesce  into  a  larger  ulcer.  The  surrounding  border  is  “rolled,”  due  to  the  convex  elevation,  and  has  a  violaceous  hue.  The  ulcers  are  exquisitely  tender  to  movement  and  palpation.  On  the  extremities,  the  ulcers  can  involve  muscles  and  tendons.  Ostomy  sites  are  a  common  location  and  can  make  management  very  difficult.
