  • Urology

Background:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis.
  • Penile involvement is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A case of penile pyoderma gangrenosum presented with non-healing ulcerative lesions.
  • The patient underwent an 8-week course of prednisone therapy.

Findings:

  • The penile pyoderma gangrenosum responded dramatically to prednisone treatment.
  • No recurrence was observed over a 6-month follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Penile pyoderma gangrenosum should be considered in the differential diagnosis of penile ulcerative lesions.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid ineffective treatments and ensure appropriate patient management.
