Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory dermatosis which essential ly affects the trunk and limbs, and more rarely the external genitalia . We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the penis in a man with refractory anaemia with excess of blast cells. The site of the necroti c nature of the lesions suggest a number of differential diagnoses, in particular Fournier's Gangrene.
