Penile Pyoderma Gangrenosum: A Rare Presentation and Review of Management Strategies: Case Report
Penile pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare but important differential diagnosis for ulcerative lesions of the genital region. Early recognition and systemic treatment, especially with corticosteroids, are crucial for effective management and avoiding the penile mutilating effect of the disease. Clinicians should consider PPG in cases of unexplained genital ulcers, particularly in the absence of infection or trauma.
