Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a chronic inflammatory ulcerative skin disease of unknown etiology, often associated with various systemic disorders such as inflammatory bowel
disease, rheumatiod arthritis, chronic active hepatitis, diabetes mellitus and hematologic malignancies. Treatment of associated systemic disorders may improve the ulcers but lesions may be recalcitrant and persist for months to years.
Here we report a 43 year-old female patient who has PG with ulcerative colitis. Patients with PG must be examined for an underlying disease even if they are asymptomatic. Keywords: Bullous pemphigoid, malignancy
