Abstract Introduction
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a chronic skin disease characterized by progressive lesions that present as painful suppurative ulcers and tend to recur. The pathogenesis of the disease is incompletely under-stood; however, 50% to 70% of affected persons have an associated concomitant systemic disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)[1]. Any site of the body can be affected; however, involvement of the oropharynx is rare. Here, we present a patient with disseminated PG with oropharyngeal involvement.
