Background: Ulcerated cervical lesions are common findings in gynecology, but pyoderma gangrenosum presenting solely as a cervical ulcer is unusual.Case: A 33-year-old nulligravida presented with postcoital bleeding and an extensive ulcerated lesion of the cervix that showed nonspecific inflammation...

      ab: Background: Ulcerated cervical lesions are common findings in gynecology, but pyoderma gangrenosum presenting solely as a cervical ulcer is unusual.Case: A 33-year-old nulligravida presented with postcoital bleeding and an extensive ulcerated lesion of the cervix that showed nonspecific inflammation on biopsy. After 6 months of topical steroid treatment, the lesion resolved completely.Conclusion: Pyoderma gangrenosum should be suspected in nonspecific cervical ulcers, especially those that worsen after surgical resection or ablation and then respond to steroid treatment.
