Clinical Mimickers Misdiagnosed as Pyoderma Gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, ulcerative, neutrophilic dermatosis that can be challenging to diagnose. Diagnosis of PG is clinical due to a lack of specific histopathologic, immunologic, or imaging findings associated with the disease, although several clinical frameworks exist to guide diagnosis. However, misdiagnosis of PG is frequent and leads to increased patient morbidity and mortality. This article highlights common mimickers of PG and offers clinical pearls to aid in accurate diagnosis with the goal of decreasing diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis and improving patient outcomes.
