Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum is extremely rare in pregnancy, with only 16Â cases being reported in the international literature: nine during pregnancy and seven post-partum. The question is thus raised of a possible relationship between this neutrophilic dermatosis and pregnancy. The association could be due to the pathergy phenomenon or to the increase in G-CSF levels occurring in pregnant women.
