title: Pyoderma gangrenosum in Crohn's disease: report of a case.
abstract: A case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the abdominal wall occurring in a patient with histologically proven Crohn's disease of the colon is described. An aggressive surgical approach (wide excision with delayed skin grafting) resulted in rapid healing of the abdominal wall. Subsequent colectomy through the previously involved abdominal site was accomplished without complication.
