Sarcoidosis and pyoderma gangrenosum: an exceptional association. The role of trauma and immunosuppressive agents.
The coexistence of sarcoidosis and pyoderma gangrenosum has rarely been reported. We have found only three cases in our review of the literature. Herein, we report a new case and discuss the role of trauma and immunosuppression in the development of PG, and the efficacy of cyclosporin A in PG and sarcoidosis.
