Management Of A Superinfected Pyoderma Gangrenosum After Pacemaker Implant

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis. We report a case of PG triggered by pacemaker (PM) implant. In the field of cardiac devices, physicians should think about this rare diagnosis in all rapidly expanding postoperative lesions. The delayed diagnosis can lead to serious consequences. Device reimplantation is possible with the help of adequate immunosuppressive therapies.
