Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin condition, of which the palpebral location is infrequent.

We report the case of a 16 years old patient, who presented to the emergency room with ulcers in the lower right eyelid, the brow bone and the right temporal region; appeared in 2 weeks, quickly evolving and very painful.

The ophthalmological examination finds ulcerative-necrotic lesions with raised, purplish edges, surrounded by an erythema at the level of the lower right eyelid reaching to the internal canthus and at the level of the right eyebrow arch (Figure 1), the examination of the anterior segment and of the fundus is normal. The examination of the Adelphe eye is without particularity.
