ABSTRACT

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a chronic, necrotizing, ulcerative, scarring and painful skin disease, which often occurs in combination with other underlying systemic diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, acute myeloid leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis. It is relatively rare in clinical practice, and a complete therapeutic regimen has not yet been formed in modern medicine, so its treatment has a certain challenge. This article reports a case of ulcerative colitis complicated with pyoderma gangrenosum that treated at the dermatology department of the third affiliated hospital of Chengdu university of T. C. M. The ulcer on the patient's left calf was basically cured after oral administration of modified Bazhen decoction and Simiao powder and external application of the experience prescription for treating carbuncle. The case report provides clinical ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of similar ulcerative diseases by integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and aims to improve the cognition and understanding of clinicians on this disease and reduce misdiagnosis.
