The differential diagnosis of chronic ulcers covers a wide range of diseases and poses a diagnostic challenge. Subcutaneous ischemic arteriolosclerosis can lead to local ischaemia and ulceration as a result of arteriolar narrowing and reduction of tissue perfusion. This pathophysiological feature
BACKGROUND
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, destructive, ulcerative neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown origin that has been investigated insufficiently in clinical studies. According to current textbooks, it is often associated with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases or other autoimmune
Parastomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is an unusual neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by painful, necrotic ulcerations occurring in the area surrounding an abdominal stoma. It typically affects young to middle-aged adults, with a slight female predominance. The underlying etiology for PPG
The clinical triad of pyoderma gangrenosum, acne conglobata and hidradenitis suppurativa has been named PASH syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism and inflammation. Hidradenitis suppurativa, like acne vulgaris, may be a feature of hyperandrogenism. Obesity
A markedly obese 54 year old woman with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, anaemia, dyspepsia, controlled hypothyroidism and depression presented with a seven month history of large pyoderma gangrenosum ulcers on the shins. Routine dressings for the ulcers had been ineffective. Her arthritis was
The clinical triad of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), acne and suppurative hidradenitis (PASH) has recently been described as a new disease entity within the spectrum of autoinflammatory syndromes, which are an emerging group of inflammatory diseases distinct from autoimmune, allergic and infectious
BACKGROUND
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) are both rare inflammatory skin conditions that are associated with systemic inflammatory diseases. We performed a retrospective medical chart review of patients with an overlap of HS and PG.
METHODS
We identified 11 cases of PG
BACKGROUND
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic, ulcerative skin disease of largely unknown pathophysiology.
METHODS
In this study, potentially relevant cofactors and comorbidities in patients with PG from three dermatological wound care centers in Germany were evaluated.
RESULTS
Of the
This article is dermatological atlas of the morphologic presentations of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). It includes: superficial abscesses (boils, furnucles, carbuncles), abscesses that are subcutaneous and suprafascial, pyogenic granulomas, cysts, painful erythematous papules and plaques,
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic follicular occlusive skin disorder characterized by recurrent abscesses, draining sinuses, and scarring, with a multifactorial pathogenesis. The answer to the question whether HS may be considered a systemic disease relies on
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent painful nodules and draining sinus tracts with subsequent scarring. HS has been associated with several dermatologic syndromes including the follicular occlusion tetrad, PASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a pathologic follicular disease, impacts patients' lives profoundly and usually occurs in isolation. The diseases with the strongest association are obesity, depression, and pain. HS is associated with many diseases including acne conglobata (AC), dissecting
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, disabling, suppurative disease characterized by deep tender subcutaneous nodules; complicated by fibrosis and extensive sinuses affecting primarily the apocrine gland bearing areas. It affects all races in early 20s with greater prevalence seen in women (3 to
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease defined clinically by multiple, painful inflammatory lesions occurring predominantly in flexural sites. Onset is typically soon after puberty; however, it remains unknown whether the menopause induces remission. In North American
Chronic ulceration of the lower leg is a frequent condition, with a prevalence of 3-5% in the population over 65 years of age. The incidence of ulceration is rising as a result of the ageing population and increased risk factors for atherosclerotic occlusion such as smoking, obesity and diabetes.
