Abstrakt     An unusual clinical appearance and course of pyoderma gangraenosum (PG) in a 35-year-old woman is presented. Signs of both the ulcerative and vegetative forms of PG were expressed. The association of two systemic diseases, the autoimmune thyreopathy and the hyperandrogenic syndrome were observed in a female. The recommended conventional therapy for PG: corticosteroids, antibiotics, cyclosporine and cyclophosphamide yielded a poor response, whereas after thyroidectomy and reaching an euthyroid state the symptoms receded. This close association of PG and autoimmune thyreopathy supports the autoimmune concept of PG.
