Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, chronic ulcerative skin disease. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, after ruling out other causes of cutaneous ulceration. The etiology of pyoderma gangrenosum is poorly understood but is likely multifactorial. We describe 2 families affected by ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum. This familial clustering suggests a possible genetic role in the development of pyoderma gangrenosum in some cases.
