Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis affecting various sites, isolated genital PG being an uncommon presentation. We report a case of a 50-year-old diabetic male who presented with 2 penile ulcers. Extensive evaluation was done for sexually and nonsexually transmitted infections, malignancy, drug-induced vasculitis, and immunobullous etiology. A diagnosis of PG was made based on the clinical findings and histopathological exclusion of other causes. The patient showed a rapid response to prednisolone, dapsone, and colchicine. This report highlights the importance of keeping PG as a differential diagnosis in cases of genital ulcers which may mimic other sexually transmitted infections.
坏疽性脓皮病(PG)是一种罕见的嗜中性皮病,可累及多个部位,孤立性生殖器PG是一种不常见的表现形式。我们报告一例50岁的糖尿病男性患者,其阴茎出现2处溃疡。针对性传播和非性传播感染、恶性肿瘤、药物性血管炎及免疫性大疱病病因进行了全面评估。根据临床表现及组织病理学排除其他病因后,诊断为PG。患者对泼尼松龙、氨苯砜和秋水仙碱反应迅速。本报告强调了在生殖器溃疡病例中,将PG作为可能模仿其他性传播感染的鉴别诊断的重要性。
