Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon ulcerative cutaneous disorder. Extracutaneous localizations are rare. Respiratory system involvement has been described in a few cases, but the pulmonary features reported were highly variable.
Case: We report two cases of patients with Pyoderma gangrenosum combining cutaneous and pulmonary manifestations. One case presented multiple nodular lesions, some with cavitation. The underlying disease was varicella-zoster virus infection. The second presented pneumonitis with bronchiolar micronodules.
Discussion: Few cases have reported Pyoderma gangrenosum with pulmonary involvement, which appears to be manifested mainly as nodules or interstitial lung disease. The principal differential diagnosis is Wegener's granulomatosis.

Ischemic ulcers due to compromised microcirculation of the lower limbs cause painful ulcers that pose a challenge for the correct diagnosis and treatment. Livedoid vasculopathy, calciphylaxis, and Martorell's hypertensive ischemic ulcer are part of this group and present some similarities due to microvascular occlusive impairment. They are often misdiagnosed as inflammatory ulcers such as pyoderma gangrenosum and vasculitis.
