Pyoderma gangrenosum: a too often overlooked facultative paraneoplastic disease.
The frequency of concomitant malignant disease in PG patients has been estimated at 4.5-9% [[1]], and there have been increasing reports of PG in patients with an underlying solid malignancy [[2]] leading us to further characterize this association.

| Sumario: | The frequency of concomitant malignant disease in PG patients has been estimated at 4.5-9% [[1]], and there have been increasing reports of PG in patients with an underlying solid malignancy [[2]] leading us to further characterize this association. Mortality was further analyzed using a univariate logistic regression model which determined that patients with leukemia and PG have a higher likelihood of death compared with PG patients with non-leukemia hematologic malignancies ( I p i < 0.05, 95% CI = 1.01-3.34). <table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th /><th>PG diagnosed before (%)</th><th>PG diagnosed after (%)</th><th>PG diagnosed at the same time (%)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Hematologic malignancy</td><td>25</td><td>54</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>Solid malignancy</td><td>17</td><td>71</td><td>12</td></tr></tbody></table>. |
