Pyoderma gangrenosum with liver, spleen and bone involvement in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown aetiology. Visceral involvement by pyoderma gangrenosum is rare, the lung being the most frequent site of extracutaneous disease. We describe a 73-year-old man with pyoderma gangrenosum and chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia in whom aseptic hepatosplenic abscesses and bony lesions were associated.
