The diagnosis is based on typical clinical features and by ruling out other ulcerative skin diseases. Generally, it is more common in the lower extremities. Pyoderma gangrenosum is a complex problem and requires an individualized care plan. This article describes the case report of a woman of 81 years of age who presented ulcers associated with pyoderma gangrenosum. We developed a nursing care plan, including outcome criteria and nursing interventions. This article demonstrates the development and effective management of the multidisciplinary team for a case of pyoderma gangrenosum.
