ABSTRACT
There is no definitive guidelines for the management pyoderma gangrenosum [PG]; it is mainly guided by small studies and case reports. We are reporting a case of a middle aged man who presented with pyoderma gangrenosum who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease [CD]. His condition was resistant to the initial systemic steroid therapy but responded well to infliximab.
