Pyoderma gangrenosum in a kindred. Precipitation by surgery or mild physical trauma.

Shands JW Jr, Flowers FP, Hill HM, Smith JO.

Abstract

Five cases of pyoderma gangrenosum occurring in a kindred are presented. Three of the cases occurred after abdominal surgery and tended to be confused with postoperative wound infections. Two cases occurred after superficial injury to the leg and were also thought to represent a peculiar form of cellulitis. None of the patients are known to have any of the underlying diseases usually associated with pyoderma gangrenosum. The cases are presented to alert the physician to this entity and to document the unusual familial occurrence.
