Usually, it is diagnosed as wound infection at the time of presentation, but antibiotic therapy and wound debridement fail to arrest rapid ulcer enlargement. We report the case of PPG in a 21-year-old woman after a reduction mammoplasty surgery. In this report, we emphasise the importance of considering pyoderma gangrenosum ( PG) as one of the differential diagnoses of breast ulcers after surgical procedures. Careful clinical assessment may establish an early diagnosis and prevent potential serious complications. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
