Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory condition of the apoc rine gland follicles, may rarely he complicated by pyoderma gangrenosu m (PG). We report such a case, in which the immunosuppressant cyclospo rin A (CyA) was given to treat PG and a dramatic improvement occurred in the patient's intractable perineal HS.
