ABSTRACT
Propylthiouracil is a common medication used in patients with hyperthyroidism; it can cause perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) in some patients with Graves' disease. This antibody has been associated with various forms of vasculitis and neutrophilic dermatosis. Herein, we report a patient who presented with cutaneous manifestations of pyoderma gangrenosum with simultaneous development of p-ANCAs during PTU therapy for Graves' disease.
