- Title

Friesen, Tyler; Hanson, Ty
- Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophil based disorder presenting as a painful sterile ulcer usually below the knee. The disease is also linked to comorbid conditions including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and pathergy. Mainstay treatment begins with high dose steroids, either topical for limited disease or systemic for extensive or rapidly progressing disease. This report presents a patient who had perianal and intragluteal cleft pyoderma gangrenosum, not related to IBD or pathergy, where high dose steroids were contraindicated due to history of steroid induced psychosis.
