Results: We conducted a literature review to ascertain the prevalence of postpartum pyoderma gangrenosum, and we identified a total of 41 cases. Conclusions: Our article underlines again the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for the prompt identification and commencement of necessary therapeutic interventions in postpartum women afflicted by pyoderma gangrenosum.
