Malignant pyoderma is a rapidly progressive ulcerating process of unknown origin that predominantly affects the head and neck of young adults. Malignant pyoderma has been considered distinct from pyoderma gangrenosum because of the predominant head and neck location of the ulcers and because the ulcers lack undermining and surrounding erythema. A case of a 22-year-old woman with a severe ulcerative process predominantly affecting the head and neck is described. A review of the literature indicates that malignant pyoderma and pyoderma gangrenosum are almost certainly identical disorders.
恶性脓皮病是一种起源不明的快速进展性溃疡性疾病，主要影响年轻成年人的头颈部。由于溃疡主要位于头颈部，且溃疡缺乏潜行性和周围红斑，恶性脓皮病一直被认为与坏疽性脓皮病不同。本文描述了一名主要累及头颈部的严重溃疡性疾病的22岁女性病例。文献综述表明，恶性脓皮病和坏疽性脓皮病几乎肯定是同一类疾病。
