We describe the case of a 75‐year‐old male with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) who had severe aortic insufficiency and moderate mitral regurgitation. He had been taking minocycline for 15 years to treat PG. He underwent aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. Aortotomy revealed a black discoloration of the aortic valve and sinus of Valsalve.
