Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum may occur in unusual sites and not be readily recognized. Delays in diagnosis and appropriate treatment may result in extensive ulcerations and scarring. We present two patients with pyoderma gangrenosum involving the breasts after breast operation. Delays in diagnosis resulted in extensive ulcerations and scarring of the breasts.
