ABSTRACT

Herein we report a case of postoperative pyoderma gangrenosum in a 70-year-old man suffering from diabetic foot ulcer. When the wound was treated with split thickness skin graft, the patient developed pyoderma gangrenosum lesions on the donor site of split thickness skin graft. Since it has not been reported before that postoperative pyoderma gangrenosum can develop at this type of graft's donor area; we did not apply any more surgical interventions, and the patient treated with corticosteroids. Complete healing occurred after approximately 2 months of treatment.

Key words: Diabetes mellitus, Pyoderma gangrenosum, Skin graft
