title: Pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with bullous systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: We report a 55-year-old woman with bullous systemic lupus erythematosus, who later developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). Dapsone was effective for the eruption of bullous bullous systemic lupus erythematosus but not for pyoderma gangrenosum. Cyclosporine was effective for the skin lesions of pyoderma gangrenosum. This is the first reported case of PG associated with bullous systemic lupus erythematosus.
