Abstract
Breast ulceration is an alarming sign for clinicians and places a significant physical and psychological burden on the patient. We report a rare presentation of pyoderma gangrenosum of the breast in a patient known to have ulcerative colitis but no active underlying disease process and no history of breast tissue trauma. This case report with literature review highlights the importance of considering pyoderma gangrenosum as a differential diagnosis in breast ulcers.Entities:
