Abstract:
Postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis that presents with characteristic ulcerative lesions and systemic signs and symptoms of inflammation. It has been well documented after both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgeries. Given its similarity to postoperative infectious processes, a high index of suspicion is necessary to initiate treatment with immunosuppression and avoid unnecessary and potentially disfiguring debridements. We present our experience with 4 cases of pyoderma gangrenosum after breast reconstruction and review the existing literature regarding pyoderma gangrenosum after breast surgery.
