Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis seen initially as painful pustules or bullae on the skin that rapidly ulcerate and have a characteristic raised, purplish areola surrounding them. It is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease and less commonly with other systemic diseases, such as myelofibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic active hepatitis. Pyoderma gangrenosum involving the hand is a rare entity, with only two previous cases reported in the literature. This article describes a patient with myelofibrosis in whom pyoderma gangrenosum of the hand developed after she underwent splenectomy.
