Abstract
We describe two adolescent patients with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) involving the face. Subsequent gastrointestinal evaluation revealed microscopic bowel inflammation suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease. While PG is rarely localized to the face, this brief report reveals two cases of pediatric facial PG and suggests a correlation between facial PG and microscopic colitis.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
