      ab: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a cutaneous ulcer developing so rapidly that may mimic a fulminating infection. The correct treatment is nonsurgical, and surgery may get the condition worse.1 FK-506 ointment (0.1% Protopic, Astellas Pharma AG, Fribourg) is usually indicated for inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis2 or for acute rejection reversal of human hand transplantation 3. A few reports of PG affecting the functions of hands can be found in the scientific literature and this report describes the first case treated by FK-506 ointment as an adjuvant therapy.
