A 31-year-old female, recently discharged after improvement of an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis, returned to the hospital due to fever, polyarthralgia affecting the knees and ankles, and symmetric violaceous papulopustular lesions on her arms, trunk, and lower limbs. Histological examination revealed superficial dermal edema and perivascular invasion of neutrophils with leukocytoclasia, consistent with neutrophilic dermatosis, and a diagnosis of bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome (BADAS) was established. BADAS is a rare, characteristic neutrophilic dermatosis and arthritis mainly associated with intestinal inflammatory disease due to bacterial overgrowthand subsequent immune complex formation and deposition.

After three months on doxycycline and topical corticosteroids, there was resolution of the ulcers and no note of recurrence up to three months from completion of the treatment regimen.

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis that presents as a tender, rapidly progressive ulcer with violaceous, undermined borders.

Some medications that modify the immune response have been described to trigger pyoderma gangrenosum.
