It requires an aggressive systemic therapy and there is little information about its long term evolution. Aim: To report the clinical features of patients with pyoderma gangrenosum. Patients and methods: Eleven patients (10 female) aged 27 to 81 years old with pyoderma gangrenosum are reported. All had a pathological study. Patients were followed up for a mean of 60 months. Results: The lesions were located in the lower limbs in 8 patients. Pathological study showed neutrophyl infiltrates in nine patients. Three patients had an ulcerative colitis and one, a Crohn disease. During the follow up, the disease recurred in multiple occasions, in six patients, after treatment with steroids or sulphones, and one patient has had permanently active lesions. Conclusions: Pyoderma gangrenosum appears mostly in the lower limbs and has a high recurrence rate (Rev Méd Chile 2001; 129: 1044-50)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.129 n.9 20012001-09-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872001000900010es10.4067/S0034-98872001000900010
