Abstract
Pyoderma vegetans (PV) is a chronic, vegetating pustular disorder characterized clinically by erythematous vesiculopustular vegetating cutaneous plaques. Marked epidermal hyperplasia, intraepidermal and subepidermal neutrophilic microabscesses and a dermal inflammatory infiltrate are the prominent histopathological findings. We describe a patient with PV associated with ulcerative colitis and mammary Paget's disease. Pustular eruptions associated with ulcerative colitis are reviewed.
