Abstract
Our case involves a rare presentation of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) inconsistent with any of the four clinical variants of PG and characterized histologically by the presence of deep granulomas in the dermis and hypodermis. Despite the atypical clinical presentation and unusual histopathological findings, PG seemed the most likely diagnosis after infectious diseases had been ruled out; the good outcome achieved with oral corticosteroids supported our diagnosis.
