Pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans after subtotal colectomy for ulcerative colitis.

A 51-year-old Japanese woman underwent subtotal colectomy for ulcerative colitis 5 years before her first visit to our hospital, and her symptoms stabilized. She presented with a 2-month history of proliferative, pustular lesions on her face, scalp, and gingival and anal mucosae. Histological examination showed features similar to those of pemphigus vegetans.
