Uncommon Condition

Background: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon condition that is associated with a systemic disease in 50% of patients. The condition may be associated with a monoclonal gammopathy, usually of the IgA type. It is rare for PG to be associated with multiple myeloma. Observations: We report the case of an 83-year-old man with PG associated with an IgA myeloma. The myeloma was discovered after the diagnosis of PG had been made. This is the 22nd case of multiple myeloma associated with PG, and only the 14th case of PG with an IgA myeloma. Conclusions: We should be aware of the potential association of multiple myeloma with PG, and consider doing a serum protein electrophoresis in the evaluation of patients with PG.

Unknown Aetiology

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown aetiology. Clinical manifestations of PG are characterized by destructive, necrotizing, and noninfective ulceration of the skin. 20–30% of cases are initiated and aggravated by minor trauma or surgery, a phenomenon named pathergy. PG is related to several autoimmune diseases including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and monoclonal gammopathy. The association with Takayasu's arteritis (TA), a chronic inflammatory and stenotic disease of large and medium-sized arteries, is instead less common. We report a case of PG associated with TA that was induced by an accident with folgoration of the skin; in this case the folgoration can be considered as an exemple of Pathergy, that is, a characteristic feature of PG.
