Pyoderma gangrenosum
is a rare cutaneous disorder frequently associated with systemic diseases. The authors report the case of a 28-year-old man with
pyoderma gangrenosum
and inferior cava vein syndrome due to thrombosis. The search for
pyoderma gangrenosum
-associated conditions (gastrointestinal, rheumatic, neoplasic, and infectious diseases) was negative. A prolonged partial
thromboplastin
time and a positive test for circulating anticardiolipin antibodies strongly suggested the diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome. There are reports of at least three other cases of
pyoderma gangrenosum
associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome. This clinical case adds further evidence to the possible link between these disorders and warrants a search for anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with
pyoderma gangrenosum
.
