Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare and destructive inflammatory skin disease. The authors present a report of a patient with a classic case of pyoderma gangrenosum involving the foot. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical presentation and progression of the disease after differential diagnoses of common conditions were excluded. A brief overview of the disease process, its treatment, and its correlation with ulcerative colitis is provided.
