Cureus. 2024 Jul 6;16(7):e63970. doi: 10.7759/cureus.63970. eCollection 2024 Jul.

Abstract

Some inflammatory conditions, such as pyoderma gangrenosum, and tumoral conditions, such as lymphoma, may appear as soft tissue infections. Herein, a cutaneous lymphoma patient who was hospitalized with a diagnosis of soft tissue infection and was considered to have pyoderma gangrenosum during follow-up is presented. Immediate histopathological examination should be recommended to diagnose skin soft tissue lesions, especially long-term and unresponsive to treatment.

Keywords: cellulite; high-grade b-cell lymphoma; necrotizing soft tissue infection (nsti); pyoderma gangrenosum; rheumatoid arthritis.
