Post-traumatic pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare skin condition, can mimic surgical complications. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for managing this ulcerative dermatosis.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Post-traumatic pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare ulceronecrotizing dermatosis often misdiagnosed.
It can develop after surgical procedures, presenting diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

A 77-year-old woman developed multifocal ulcerous wound dehiscence after orbit pseudotumor excision.
The clinical presentation was characteristic, but diagnosis was delayed by six months.

Findings:

Postoperative pyoderma gangrenosum should be suspected in sterile, painful, progressive ulcerative defects post-surgery.
Preoperative assessment should include history of pyoderma gangrenosum and associated systemic diseases.

Implications:

Consider pyoderma gangrenosum in postoperative wound complications, especially in minimally invasive or cosmetic surgery.
