  ABSTRACT: Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is an autoinflammatory condition mimicking Surgical Site Infection in the postoperative period and both these conditions differ entirely in terms of their management. Early and prompt diagnosis is crucial to reducing surgical morbidity. We present a postoperative case of Ostium Secundum Atrial Septal Defect (OS ASD) closure using a minimally invasive approach from right sided Trans Axillary site who developed an ulcerative form of PG at the surgical site and how timely diagnosis guided us in managing the patient with successful outcomes.
