SEVERICHE, Diego Fernando; VELANDIA, Omar e SALDARRIAGA, Eugenia Lucía. Pyoderma gangrenosum as paraneoplastic syndrome of a Phylloides tumor, Borderline type. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.2, pp.207-210. ISSN 0120-2448.
The case of a 65 year old patient with a mass in her left breast and an ulcer on the left ankle, is presented. The patient consults for a chronic ulcer unresolved despite multiple treatments. When histological study of the two lesions was performed, it was established that the breast mass corresponded to a Phyllodes Borderline tumor and the ankle ulcer to a pyoderma gangrenosum. Pyoderma gangrenosum is usually secondary to other conditions. In this case it was established that it was a paraneoplastic syndrome of Phyllodes tumor. This relationship is rare because only four cases with association of pyoderma gangrenosum and breast tumors have been reported worldwide. None of them in Colombia. (Acta Med Colomb 2014; 39: 207-210).
