“…In 25 of these cases PG occurred post breast surgery, predominantly breast reduction mammoplasty.

Background: Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis which leads to necrotic and painful skin ulceration. PG of the breast is extremely rare with 32 documented cases in the current literature. Delay in diagnosis worsens scarring as the ulcers are rapidly expanding, painful and usually slow to heal. Case presentation:We present a case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the breast in a patient with associated rheumatoid arthritis which was initially diagnosed as an infected breast ulcer and later successfully treated with systemic steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Conclusion:Even though PG of the breast has been gaining increased recognition over the past two decades, this has been more common in the post-surgical setting. This case highlights the need to consider PG as a differential diagnosis when faced with unsual cases of breast ulceration and the importance of multidisplinary approach for effective treatment of this condition.

725Pioderma gangrenoso em mastoplastia e abdominoplastia RESUMO Pioderma gangrenoso é uma doença rara de causa desconhecida, inflamatória, ulcerativa e dolorosa, com formação de bolhas e pústulas, tipo autoimune e não infecciosa. É caracterizado inicialmente por uma lesão cutânea avermelhada de caráter inflamatório do tipo rash cutâneo, que evolui para necrose de pele. Pode representar uma primeira resposta imunológica na pele durante o ato operatório, semelhante à doença de Crohn, doença de Behçet, doenças autoimunes, leucemias, artrites, ou mesmo ainda qualquer outro pequeno trauma ocorrido na pele em data anterior à cirurgia. Não se sabe a origem do processo que deu a esta reação imunológica.Descritores: Pioderma gangrenoso. Doenças auto-imunes. Mamoplastia/efeitos adversos. Abdome/cirurgia/ efeitos adversos. ABSTRACTPyoderm gangrenosum is an unknown skin inflammatory and ulcerative non infected disease, painful that starts with vesicles formation like cutaneous rash that develop to skin necrosis. It may represent the first immunologic skin reaction during the surgery, similar to Crohn disease, Behçet disease, autoimmune diseases, leukemia, arthritis or even any type of small skin trauma days before the surgery. The immunologic reactions are still unknown.
