~Post Breast Reduction Pyoderma Gangrenosum~
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease (neutrophilic dermatosis) characterized by the development of painful ulcers that progressively worsen. PG is a diagnosis of exclusion that often follows repeated, failed debridements. For patients with delayed diagnosis, repeated wound debridement can lead to soft tissue defects that require complex reconstruction. If reconstructive procedures are needed following acute PG, consideration of perioperative immunomodulatory administration to avoid further pathergy is essential. The patient is a 25-year-old female who developed bilateral breast wounds three days postoperatively from elective breast reduction surgery. |
