Pyoderma gangrenosum of the cervix.

Abstract

Ulcerated cervical lesions are common findings in gynecology, but pyoderma gangrenosum presenting solely as a cervical ulcer is unusual. A 33-year-old nulligravida presented with postcoital bleeding and an extensive ulcerated lesion of the cervix that showed nonspecific inflammation on biopsy. After 6 months of topical steroid treatment, the lesion resolved completely. Pyoderma gangrenosum should be suspected in nonspecific cervical ulcers, especially those that worsen after surgical resection or ablation and then respond to steroid treatment.
