BACKGROUND: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis that can develop at a surgical site. Diagnosis can be challenging at its presentation causing delays in appropriate treatment. The aim of this study is to review the current literature as well as to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic pathway, and treatment of PG after reduction mammaplasty in order to define a standardized multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In the future, this may ease early identification and prompt treatment, and eventually minimize severe morbidity and long-term sequelae.
METHODS: The entire PubMed/Medline database was screened following the PRISMA guidelines to identify studies describing PG that have occurred after reduction mammoplasty.
RESULTS: Twenty-eight articles including 31 patients reported a PG after breast reduction surgery between January 1988 and March 2022. Twenty-one (68%) patients presented with skin ulcerations, 14 (45%) with erythema, and 5 (16%) with vesicles. Out of the 30 cases that underwent bilateral surgery, 18 (60%) developed PG bilaterally. In 12 out of 31 patients, nipple-areolar complex (NAC) involvement was evaluated, though in 10 patients (83%) the NAC was spared. Of the 20 patients (65%) who underwent skin biopsies for histopathological examination, 18 (90%) showed neutrophilic infiltration of the dermal layers. All 31 patients (100%) showed rapid clinical improvement after the introduction of immunosuppressive therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: PG can result in devastating skin alterations also after reduction mammoplasty, if misdiagnosed. However, it presents with constant yet unspecific local and general signs and symptoms that can be recognized to early initiate an appropriate pharmacological treatment.
