title: Gigantic pyoderma gangrenosum.
abstract: A 71-year-old Japanese female with gigantic pyoderma gangrenosum is reported. The pyoderma lesions had been treated as an infectious condition for seventeen months and had extended to enormously large areas. The nature of the chronic type of pyoderma gangrenosum may need to be stressed, even for dermatologists.
