Peristomal granulation tissue mimicking peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum in the context of urine-diverting ostomies

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Brett D. McLarney PhD from the An estimated , million North Americans live with ostomies, with up to, % developing stoma-related skin morbidities [1]Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG), a subset of the neutrophilic dermatosis pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), is commonly included in the differential diagnosis for peristomal ulcers. Treatments for PPG, such as systemic immunosuppressive therapy, carry morbidity and can delay wound healing when PPG is not the correct diagnosis. With high numbers of patients experiencing peristomal skin lesions, erroneous diagnoses of PPG given to non-PPG peristomal lesions could lead to significant morbidity [2].
