We present a case of a patient addressed to our plastic surgery department after a breast tumor resection and subsequent necrosis and ulceration of the right breast. A diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum was made based on the clinical criteria, early recognition resulted in complete recovery without further reconstructive surgery.
