PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM IN A PATIENT WITH PRIMARY SJÖGREN'S SYNDROME - CASE REPORT.

We will present the case study of a 61 years old Caucasian female patient who required a dermatological consult for two well defined painful ulcerations on her right leg, with overhanging borders, a geographical erythematous-purplish outline and a surface covered with adherent necrotic deposits. Ten years prior she was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome. After skin biopsy, pyoderma gangrenosum diagnostic was established, a rare finding in a Sjögren's syndrome patient. Systemic corticotherapy and chemical debridement of the lesions proved a successful treatment method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
