A 69-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome-related pancytopenia was administered granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) before total hip arthroplasty to prevent postoperative infection. One week postoperatively, she developed peri-incisional ecchymosis and associated leukocytosis. Over the next few weeks, surgical site infection was suspected; however, dermatologist evaluation and subsequent biopsy supported a diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum, which resolved after prompt steroid administration.
Postoperative pyoderma gangrenosum should be included in the differential diagnosis when considerable postoperative ecchymosis and leukocytosis occur, particularly after preoperative G-CSF administration.
一位 69 岁女性患有骨髓增生异常综合征相关全血细胞减少症,在全髋关节置换术前接受了粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)治疗,以预防术后感染。术后一周,她出现切口周围瘀斑和白细胞增多。在接下来的几周里,怀疑发生了手术部位感染;然而,皮肤科医生的评估和随后的活检支持了坏疽性脓皮病的诊断,在迅速给予类固醇治疗后得到了缓解。
当术后出现大量瘀斑和白细胞增多,尤其是在术前接受 G-CSF 治疗后,应将术后坏疽性脓皮病纳入鉴别诊断。
