Pyostomatitis Vegetans

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) belongs to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses with unknown etiology and poorly understood pathogenesis. In children, PG is primarily associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). By now, about 355 PG cases have been described worldwide, including 15 children with the involvement of oral mucosa. Clinical manifestations of the disease are diverse and depend on the form, stage and associated conditions. Such a rare PG as pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans manifests by combined lesions of the oral mucosa and skin. The authors present historical data on the investigation of the disease, its etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and clinical picture. A description of a rare clinical case of severe form of atypical PG, namely, pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans in a 10-year-old child, is presented. The unique character of the case is related to the variety of clinical manifestations and the clinical course complicated by the development of keloid and partial scar-related flexion contracture of the upper and lower extremities, the formation of microstoma and cachexia. The association of pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans with Crohn's disease was found. The lack of awareness of the clinical symptoms of this rare disease has led to diagnostic errors and late diagnosis.

Sweet syndrome is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by non-itchy, sometimes tender, erythematous plaques and papules most commonly distributed on the arms, upper body, head and neck. Histological findings include a dense dermal neutrophilic infiltrate with oedema. We report a case of 32year old female patient with solitary well defined erythematous edematous plaques with whitish scales at the centre of the lesion present over the extensor aspect of left forearm since 5days with sparing of palms , soles and mucosae. Laboratory investigations and histopathology were suggestive of Neutrophilic dermatoses (Sweet’s syndrome). This case was presented to highlight Atypical presentationof sweet syndrome – annular morphology and localization of lesions only over left forearm Therefore high index of suspicion is needed for its diagnosis in cases of solitary and isolated presentation along with necessary histopathological and laboratory investigations.

BACKGROUND: Subcorneal pustular dermatosis, also known as Sneddon-Wilkinson disease, can be classified as one of the neutrophilic dermatoses together with pyoderma gangrenosum. The development of both SPD and PG in the same patient has rarely been reported and may be a strong indicator of IgA dysglobulinemiaCASE REPORT: We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with a 2-year history of relapsing pustular eruptions mainly affecting the abdomen, gluteus region, elbows, and the extremities. Four years after the onset of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD), she developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) on her right hand. In literature, the coexistence of SPD and PG in the same patient has already been described. This co-occurrence might indicate a certain predisposition for immune dysregulation.CONCLUSION: Although the two NDs are often associated with systemic diseases, these patients should be followed up for any malignancy because of the strong association between these disorders.
