Behcet’s disease BD is a multisystem vasculitis, in which PG can rarely be seen among its cutaneous manifestations., A 29 –year-old male patient with a 13 years history of BH, was admitted to clinic with left leg ulcers. On dermatological examination 3 ulcers localized on the left lower leg, with the largest one being 12x6 cm, spreading to the deep fascia, accompanied by mild purulent discharge and bad smell. The histologically was compatible with PG. This report is presented to emphasize the necessity of long term and combined treatment of PG accompanying BD with agressive course

Özet

Pyoderma Gangrenosum PG genellikle orta yaşındaki erişkinleri etkileyen, nadir görülen, nötrofilik inflamatuvar deri hastalığıdır. Etyolojisi ve patogenezi net olarak bilinmemektedir. BH ise multisistemik bir vaskülit olup, deri bulguları arasında nadiren PG da görülebilmektedir.On üç yıldır BH öyküsü olan, 29 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta sol bacakta ülserle polikliniğimize başvurdu. Dermatolojik muayenesinde sol alt bacakta en büyüğü 12x6 cm olan, fasyaya kadar uzanan derin, hafif pürülan akıntı ve kötü kokunun eşlik ettiği 3 adet ülser saptanan hastadan yapılan histopatolojik inceleme PG ile uyumluydu.Burada agresif seyirli bir BH’da görülen PG lezyonlarının kontrolunun sağlanması için, sistemik tedavinin uzun süre ve kombine yapılması gerekebileceği vurgulanmak amacıyla sunulmuştur.
