Case in brief

A patient developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) following multiple breast augmentation surgeries. This case highlights the successful use of a combination of cyclosporine and prednisone to prevent PG recurrence during subsequent breast reconstruction. The treatment was administered both preoperatively and postoperatively, demonstrating effective management of this condition in a surgical context.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should consider the risk of pyoderma gangrenosum in patients with a history of surgical procedures, particularly in the context of breast augmentation, and may benefit from prophylactic corticosteroid therapy.
