SUMMARY - Pyoderma gangrenosum is a skin lesion classified among the necrotizing lesions, having an imprecise etiology and an evolution that does not tend to cure spontaneously. The commonly accepted treatment considered useful is very aggressive and has well-known side-effects (corticosteroids and antimitotic immunosuppressants). This paper describes the case of a patient cured through the application of ozone and the patient’s own platelet growth factors, all of which brings hope to understanding the etiology of pyoderma gangrenosum and giving us a means of treating it effectively.
