Abstract

PASH syndrome is a rare condition that consists of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), acne and suppurative hidradenitis. It is described as an auto-inflammatory disorder in the same spectrum of PAPA syndrome (pyoderma, acne and pyogenic arthritis). The mainstay of the treatments are immunosuppressive drugs. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF- α) inhibitors have been reported some benefits in patients with PASH syndrome. We present the case of a 20-year-old man who developed severe acne, ulcers, abscess formations and draining sinuses on the face, neck, trunk, intertriginous areas and extremities. He was ultimate diagnosed with concurrent PASH syndrome. The diseases remitted in response to treatment with etanercept.
