A 43-year-old woman developed annular and pustular cutaneous lesions preceded by tiny yellow pustules coating the surface of the oral mucosa. The clinical, histological and immunopathological evidence clearly showed that the patient had pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans. It is suggested that this disease is a distinct entity which should be differentiated from pemphigus vegetans.

Article Synopsis
- Pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans (PPV) is a rare disease indicated by pustules that often signals inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with oral manifestations known as pyostomatitis vegetans (PSV).
- A study analyzed various cases of PSV from literature to identify key diagnostic features, including specific appearances of oral lesions and their relation to IBD.
- The research found 77 PSV cases with helpful diagnosis indicators but noted the lack of a standardized treatment approach, which typically involves multiple medications like corticosteroids and immunosuppressives, and highlighted a high risk of oral lesion recurrence upon dosage changes.

Article Synopsis
- Pyodermatitis pyostomatitis vegetans is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the skin and/or mucous membranes, with lesions commonly appearing on the scalp, face, trunk, and extremities, as well as in oral mucosa.
- The clinical presentation includes erosive granulomatous plaques, keratotic plaques, and pustular lesions, with some lesions displaying a distinctive 'snail track' appearance.
- Unique histopathological features include epidermal hyperplasia and eosinophilic microabscesses, while activated neutrophils and eosinophil extracellular traps may play a role in its pathogenesis and inflammatory response.
