[Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum after colectomy for Crohn disease. Successful medical treatment]. / Pyoderma gangrenosum péri-stomial après colectomie pour maladie de Crohn. Succès du traitement médical.

ABSTRACT

A case of Pyoderma gangrenosum with two different abdominal sites in a female patient suffering from colonic Crohn's disease is presented. Local trauma on the midline scar of an incisional hernia and around the stoma were the possible triggering factors. Despite the major abdominal wall defect and an infected parietal collection, steroid therapy was very effective without the need for surgery.
