Abstract

A 52-year-old female with a 7-year history of ulcerative colitis presented to OPD with a 2-month history of multiple non-healing ulcers on shin and ankle of both the legs (Figure 1 and 2), which was initially started as multiple small erythematous nodules. On examination of the bilateral lower limbs, the ulcers were firm and tender to palpate. The base of the ulcer contains pink granulation tissue with purulent discharge, which is consistent with the pyoderma gangrenosum.
