Abstract

A patient with Crohn's disease and peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum is described. This patient is unique because she had a rapid response to intralesionally injected steroids. This treatment is ideal for peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum because it is administered intermittently when the ostomy appliance is changed and it does not interfere with adhesion of the device. All 11 cases of peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum described in the literature are reviewed.
