Summary: A 29-year-old male patient with the anamnesis of inflammatory bowel disease and Grave-Basedowov disease was
hospitalized because of rapidly spreading skin defect with affected muscle on the left shin. This skin defect appeared
after the significant decreasing of corticoids. The small skin trauma preceded the pyoderma gangrenosum. First the
skin diseasewas not right diagnosed and patient was cured by the excision of the defect. It caused tissue disintegration,
muscle necrosis and extension of the defect. The whole leg was endangered. Patient was cured with corticoids and
cyclosporin A after the right diagnosis. The defect healed and laboratory inflammatory markers decreased. The
immunosupresive therapy was changed to azathioprin, the corticoid therapy was interrupted. After three months the
defect was healed.
