title: [Pyoderma gangrenosum. 14 personal observations and review of the literature].
abstract: Fourteen cases of pyoderma gangrenosum are reported. Twelve were associated with various diseases: ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease, colic tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic myeloid leukemia, agammaglobulinemia, respiratory infections (2 cases) and post surgical intervention. In 2 cases pyoderma gangrenosum appeared to be primary. The clinical characteristics of the affection make it a very particular type of ulcer: pustular onset, frequent localization to other than leg, rapid eccentric spread, frequent associated morbidity (mainly digestive and hematologic). The pathogenesis is still unknown and the treatment is not well codified.
