title: Pyoderma gangrenosum; a rare complication of sclerotherapy.
abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum may develop at sites of minor trauma and in surgical wounds. In susceptible people, even minimal trauma or irritation to the skin can result in the production of pyoderma gangrenosum lesions. This paper reports an unusual case of pyoderma gangrenosum following ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy.
