Abstract

autologous breast reconstructio DIEP flap reconstruction pyoderma gangrenosum pyoderma gangrenosum in irradiated tissue
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a diagnosis of exclusion worsened by surgical debridement. This report presents two atypical manifestations of PG in the reconstructed breast, whereby the disease is only confined to the irradiated chest wall tissue bed, sparing the abdominal donor sites and the contralateral reconstructed breast. © 2020 The Authors.
