Bilateral manifestation of PG is exceptionally rare and can easily be misdiagnosed as infection or vascular ulceration, delaying proper treatment. A 76\u2010year\u2010old woman presented with painful, crusted ulcers on her bilateral lower legs that developed over 2\u2009weeks. Initially, the lesions erupted as erythematous papules that enlarged rapidly and ulcerated. There was no history of trauma, systemic illness, or prior ulceration. Laboratory tests revealed mild anemia and an elevated C\u2010reactive protein level. Swab culture from the wound site showed growth of\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    . There was no response to antibiotics, suggesting a non\u2010infective etiology. An incisional skin biopsy revealed dense neutrophilic infiltrate with dermal necrosis in the absence of vasculitis or infection, findings characteristic of neutrophilic dermatosis and consistent with PG. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone and local saline dressings, resulting in significant improvement within 2\u2009weeks and complete healing without recurrence. PG can occur even in the absence of systemic diseases and may mimic infectious or vascular ulcers. Awareness about atypical presentations, early biopsy and timely initiation of corticosteroid therapy is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and achieve favorable outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.71964","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]],"date-time":"2026-01-28T11:37:38Z","timestamp":1769600258000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bilateral Idiopathic Pyoderma Gangrenosum: A Case Report of an Atypical Presentation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sanjog Thapa","family":"Magar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology Patan Academy of Health Sciences  Lalitpur Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8716-6059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deekshanta","family":"Sitaula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology Patan Academy of Health Sciences  Lalitpur Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Subi","family":"Rijal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology Patan Academy of Health Sciences  Lalitpur Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vikash","family":"Paudel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology Patan Academy of Health Sciences  Lalitpur Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bhaskar M.
