“…In summary, PG is a neutrophilic dermatosis often associated with systemic diseases. Pathergy is an important phenomenon demonstrated by trauma‐induced cutaneous lesions of PG and can occur at incisional sites in the postoperative setting . The present report describes a patient with myelofibrosis, a condition infrequently associated with PG, with pathergy at the site of splenectomy, and an excellent response to systemic immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatory therapy.…”

“…From a dermatologic point of view, a pathergic response may be likened to the Koebner phenomenon, which refers to the appearance of a new lesion of a pre‐existing skin disorder at the site of an injury of any kind . In conclusion, in the case reported by Leventhal et al ., the new occurrence of PG at a traumatized site cannot be considered a pathergic phenomenon but instead represents a typical umpteenth example of an ICD because the patient was not affected by PG before surgery.…”

In their work, the authors reported a 72‐year‐old man who developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) at the site of surgical incision soon after an aortic aneurysm repair.…”
