Scrotal Pyoderma Gangrenosum Associated with Evans Syndrome

J Clin Med. 2018 Aug 22;7(9):230. doi: 10.3390/jcm7090230.

Abstract

Evans syndrome is a rare disorder with presentations of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia, in the absence of any underlying cause. Here, we reported a case with a history of Evans syndrome for seven years. A persistent scrotal ulcer with severe pain occurred for two weeks. He called at our emergency room because of a painful, necrolytic cutaneous ulcer over the scrotal region. A biopsy showed sterile dermal neutrophilia with lymphocytic vasculitis, and pyoderma gangrenosum was impressed. The patient received steroid treatment and recovery after one month.

Keywords: Evans syndrome; pyoderma gangrenosum; steroid; ulcer.
