Superficial granulomatous pyoderma is a cutaneous condition, a variant of
pyoderma gangrenosum characterized by a localized superficial vegetative or ulcerative lesion, which usually follows trauma, such as surgery.
Signs and symptoms
In superficial granulomatous pyoderma, ulcers typically have a clean base and vegetating borders, making them more superficial. Unlike pyoderma gangrenosum, superficial granulomatous pyoderma is more frequently associated with truncal involvement and is not always linked to underlying systemic disease.
