The authors present the case of a 11-years old girl who came for a deep pyogenic and gangrenous affection in the area above the left soulder blade. The lesion was located in the area of acne comedonica. The overall condition was not altered. The diagnostic reasoning was broad and we also used the possibility of histopatological examination.

Keywords: pyoderma gangrenosum, ecthyma gangrenosum, acne, neutrophil dermatosis, foreign body, calcinosis.
