An interesting case of pyoderma gangrenosum with immature hystiocytoid neutrophils

We present a unique case of a 36‐year‐old male who developed more than 20 pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) ulcers showing on histopathology a dense inflammatory infiltrate composed of histiocytoid mononuclear immature cells with a strong positivity for myeloperoxidase and Leder stain, suggesting a myeloid lineage in the absence of a concomitant myeloproliferative disorder. Histiocytoid Sweet syndrome (SS) is now recognized as a histological subtype of SS. Although PG and SS belong to the spectrum of neutrophilic diseases, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a “Histiocytoid pyoderma gangrenosum” encompassing immature granulocytes in the absence of leukemia cutis.
