title: Pyoderma gangrenosum in association with psoriatic arthritis.
abstract: We present a patient with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis who developed multiple large, painful ulcers that were scattered over his anterior lower legs and were characteristic of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). This association has not previously been described. We review other forms of arthritis that usually occur with PG and discuss them in light of this observation.
