In this fascinating discussion, Kirk Barber is joined by Dr Afsaneh Alavi of the Mayo Clinic to discuss her article in the July/Aug 2021 edition of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, titled:
"Superficial Granulomatous Pyoderma Gangrenosum Involving the Face: A Case Series of Five Patients and a Review of the Literature."
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis that presents as an inflammatory ulcerative disorder. It most often affects the lower extremities but can involve other areas of the skin. While, involvement of the face has rarely been reported. Dr Alavi and Kirk discuss five cases of unusual ulcerating and vegetating facial plaques mimicking halogenoderma and blastomycosis-like pyoderma.
Dr Alavi is a consultant dermatologist and associate professor of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Her co-authors are Eran Shavit, Michael Cecchini, James J. Limacher, Scott Walsh, Ashely Wentworth and Mark Denis P. Davis.
This article is open access at the the JCMS website.
