Sumario:Introduction. When occurring together, pyoderma gangrenosum, severe acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa have been described as PASH syndrome. Due to the chronic autoinflammatory state existing in affected patients, PASH syndrome has been attributed to the dysregulation of wound healing. Case Reports. Two cases are presented that demonstrate the paradigmatic clinical features of PASH syndrome and its potential link as an expanding spectrum of bacterial biofilm disorder. Conclusions. As reported herein, based on biofilm's clinical presentation and resistance to proper wound healing, it could serve as the common denominator and may redirect clinicians' treatment pathways in the near future.
