Abstract:
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a non-infectious disease characterized by necrotizing, ulcerative, and painful skin. The incidence of PG is approximately 3-10 cases per million people per year. Pyoderma gangrenosum is rarely observed in children, which accounts for less than 4%, but it primarily affects adults between the ages of 25 and 54 years old without gender preference. Here, we present a case report of a 16-month-old toddler diagnosed with pyoderma gangrenous with splenic involvement. The young age of the patient and extracutaneous manifestation are of high interest.
