Abstract
We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum presenting as Fournier's gangrene. Although both processes have a similar presentation effective management is markedly different. Whereas broad-spectrum antibiotics and aggressive surgical débridement are necessary to control Fournier's gangrene, immediate institution of corticosteroids and local wound care are indicated for pyoderma gangrenosum.Entities:
