[PMID: 38999221 PMCID: PMC11242117 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The infrequent occurrence of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) during pregnancy and in postpartum, with its subsequent diagnostic intricacies, caused us to present the following case. Methods: This article describes a rare case of PG in postpartum in a patient without any prior pathology and a short review of the literature, aiming to identify similar rare instances. Results: We conducted a literature review to ascertain the prevalence of postpartum pyoderma gangrenosum, and we identified a total of 41 cases. Conclusions: Our article underlines again the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for the prompt identification and commencement of necessary therapeutic interventions in postpartum women afflicted by pyoderma gangrenosum.

Abstract
Rare cases of autoinflammatory neutrophilic dermatoses (AINDs) have been reported in patients during pregnancy with associated adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Due to the rarity and heterogeneous morphology of pregnancy-associated AINDs, clinical diagnosis is often overlooked, and treatment options are limited. In this review, we present the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, therapeutic interventions, maternal and fetal outcomes, and discuss the possible pathophysiology of various pregnancy associated AINDs. Risk factors for the onset and exacerbation of AINDs in pregnancy include older maternal age, disease duration, and specific gestational age. The varied disease courses and conflicting clinical outcomes in both mothers and fetuses demonstrate the importance of symptom recognition and the understanding of the role of pregnancy on AINDs.
