Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin disorder characterized by cutaneous papulo-pustules that evolve rapidly into large, painful, necrotic ulcers. These lesions are often initially diagnosed as wound infection and necrotizing fasciitis. Debridement, although the standard of care for wound infections, is paradoxically detrimental in pyoderma gangrenosum because of pathergy. Early diagnosis and treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum is very important because unnecessary debridement and associated morbidity can be prevented. Herein, we report a case with pyoderma gangrenosum mimicking necrotizing fasciitis.

Özet

Piyoderma gangrenozum, hızlı bir şekilde geniş, ağrılı ve nekrotik ülserlere dönüşen kutanöz papülo-püstüller ile karakterize nadir bir inflamatuvar cilt hastalığıdır. Bu lezyonlar başlangıçta sıklıkla yara enfeksiyonu ve nekrotizan fasiyit olarak tanı alırlar. Debritman, yara enfeksiyonları için standart bakım olmakla beraber piyoderma gangrenozumda paterji nedeni ile paradoksik olarak zararlıdır. Gereksiz debritman ve ilişkili morbiditeyi engelleyebilmek için piyoderma gangrenozumun erken tanı ve tedavisi çok önemlidir. Bu yaxıda, nekrotizan fasiyiti taklit eden piyoderma gangrenozumlu bir olgu sunulmuştur.
