Pyoderma gangrenosum complicating pacemaker implant

Francisco G Cosío et al. Europace. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

A 70-year-old lady with diabetes and monoclonal gammopathy underwent pacemaker implant for 2:1 atrioventricular block. Within 7 days, a painful, infiltrating, necrotic lesion involved the implant area. Biopsy was compatible with pyoderma gangrenosum and corticosteroid treatment led to healing in 3 weeks.
