A systematic review of pyoderma gangrenosum with pulmonmary involvement: clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management

Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis that often has extracutaneous manifestations, with lung involvement being the most common (1, 2). In this systematic review we have summarized the clinical presentation, predisposing factors, and treatment of PG patients with pulmonary involvement and compared them to classic neutrophilic disorders. Using the search terms "pulmonary, lung, respiratory, bronchi, or bronchopulmonary" AND "pyoderma gangrenosum" a systematic review was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science.
