Leuk Lymphoma. 1997 Aug;26(5-6):629-32. doi: 10.3109/10428199709050901.

Abstract

An unusual case of bullous pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome during treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is reported. The possible relationship between G-CSF therapy and pyoderma gangrenosum, as well as the beneficial effect of cyclosporin A therapy, is discussed.
