Abstract
We report here a nea case of pyodema gangrenosum (PG) associated with a bre ast cancer in a 39-Sear-old woman. We only Pound in literature three other reports of this rare entity which seems usually to he associated with monoc lonal gammopathy, gastro-intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, chron ic ulcerative colitis, leukemias or rhumatologic diseases. A commun hapten between of tumor and skin may explain the origin of this inflammatory lesio n. In our case, PC could he a paraneoplastic syndrome.
