RESUMO
Pyoderma gangrenosum is one of the most severe extraintestinal manifestations in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn s disease. This lesion is frequently located on the lower extremities and the torso. Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is extremely rare. We report the first published patient with PPG and UC in Mexico. PPG occurred six weeks after restorative proctocolectomy. Diagnosis was performed by clinical presentation and biopsy. Ulcer resolution was achieved with oral steroids and local wound care. Patient did not show any recurrence at one year follow-up. We suggest suspecting this illness in all patients with UC who had a restorative proctocolectomy and present difficult management peristomal ulcers.
