BACKGROUND: Pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and suppurative hidradenitis (PASH) syndrome is a rare condition characterized by clinical features of all three dermatologic conditions. The management of PASH syndrome is difficult, with no consensus on treatment guidelines. Since PASH syndrome can increase morbidity and adversely impact quality of life, better characterization of effective therapies is needed.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to identify all patients with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) treated at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center between 2015 and 2021. PG diagnosis was confirmed via PARACELSUS score. Subsequent chart review identified eight patients with concomitant hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and acne who were clinically diagnosed with PASH syndrome.
RESULTS: Eight patients were clinically diagnosed with PASH syndrome based on their clinical presentation at our institution. Seven patients had failed some type of medical therapy prior to presentation, including topical corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, and biologics. One patient had also tried surgical drainage at an outside institution. Six patients were effectively treated with biologics, usually in combination with other therapies. One patient experienced improvement of her skin lesions after diagnosis and treatment of her underlying hematologic malignancy.
CONCLUSIONS: Medical management with biologics in combination with corticosteroids and/or antibiotics was effective in the management of most patients. Diagnosis and treatment of an underlying condition should be prioritized in refractory cases. If workup is negative, surgical management may be considered. Further investigation with a greater number of patients is required to develop management guidelines for PASH syndrome.

Pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), mild to severe facial acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). It only affects the skin and represents cutaneous characteristics of a spectrum of autoinflammation. Lack of pyogenic sterile arthritis (PA) distinguishes the pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PASH) syndrome from pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PA-PASH), pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, hidradenitis suppurtiva, and ankylosing spondylitis (PASS), and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndromes. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of PASH syndrome remain unknown. Both PG and HS are contained in the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatitis, which is considered as an autoinflammatory syndrome. From a pathophysiological point of view, they show similar mechanisms, including neutrophil-rich cutaneous infiltration and overexpression of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family. These findings provide guidance for these intractable diseases. In this review, we described a case of PASH syndrome in a patient who initially failed to respond to immunosuppressive treatment but responded to a combination of colchicine and thalidomide. We reviewed the relevant literature that focuses on PASH syndrome management.
