Bullous Pyoderma Gangrenosum in a Patient with Myelodysplastic Syndrome During Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Therapy

Abstract

An unusual case of bullous pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome during treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is reported. The possible relationship between G-CSF therapy and pyoderma gangrenosum, as well as the beneficial effect of cyclosporin A therapy, is discussed.
