“…In the prediagnostic phase of such a case, when there is still doubt about wound infection, local and systemic antibacterial drugs seem the safest approach. In a certain perspective, hyperbaric oxygen therapy might be adjustable during this phase or even later (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). As fast as the diagnosis is accepted, following the concepts of good clinical wound care, dressings should be used that keep the wound at least moist, warm and free of infection.…”

A case of pyoderma gangrenosum progressively developing after bilateral mastopexy at the surgical site is described. The described case was successfully treated with corticosteroids, the application of the dermal regeneration template Integra and autologous skin grafts. This approach was able to save the patient's life and to generate a high-quality aesthetical outcome. The article reported the case, reviewed the literature of pyoderma gangrenosum related to mastopexy or augmentation mammoplasty and discussed the use of a dermal regeneration template to optimise aesthetical results after reconstructive surgery.

Since its description 50 years ago, pyoderma gangrenosum has continued to capture the attention and imagination of all those who see its dramatic presentation. Clinical observation still provides the only reliable diagnosis. As investigative techniques increase, more and more intriguing immunologic abnormalities associated with this disorder are discovered, but understanding of the pathogenesis remains elusive. It is now recognized as an independent condition as well as a co-condition with many systemic disorders. Many new treatment options are available, allowing much individualization of treatment. For now, pyoderma gangrenosum remains an impressive, relatively easily recognized, but poorly understood disease.
