    AbstractA 52-year-old woman who had had ulcerative colitis for more than ten years experienced a third relapse of pyoderma gangrenosum of her lower extremities. She was treated with topical disodium cromoglycate. The dosage of salicylazosulfapyridine and steroids she was taking, and by which the ulcerative colitis, but not the pyoderma gangrenosum could be controlled, was not increased. Because pyoderma gangrenosum is often very difficult to treat and may require an aggressive approach using drugs that can cause serious side effects, we believe that a topical therapy is worth trying.
