An 18 year old girl presented with multiple, painful, non- healing ulcers over the lower extremities of 2 month duration. The lesions had started as hemorrhagic bullae which broke down leaving ulcers. The features were consistent with those of pyoderma gangrenosum. Patients did not have any associated disease including myeloproliferative disorder. Ulcer healed with systemic steroids.
