Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon dermatological condition with varied etiology. Mostly it is associated with inflammatory conditions and malignancies as well. Tuberculosis being a chronic infective process can also be associated with pyoderma gangrenosum although rare. We report a case of tuberculous pleural effusion presenting with pyoderma gangrenosum during the course of treatment and its subsequent management while continuing the treatment for tuberculosis.
