Pyoderma gangrenosum and myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Pyoderma gangrenosum can be associated with haematological malignancies but rarely a myeloproliferative neoplasm. A review of requests for molecular detection of myeloproliferative neoplasm driver mutations in patients with pyoderma gangrenosum was performed and revealed that testing for these mutations is unwarranted in cases where there are no clinical, haematological or morphological features of a myeloproliferative neoplasm present.
