INTRODUCTION
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) refers to a primary sterile neutrophilic
dermatosis with an idiopathic etiology that rarely affects children.1,2 Involvement of the external ear is a rare
encounter though its rarity does not seem to determine its inherent
behavior with regard to characteristics of the ulcer and response to
treatment. 3-5 The diagnosis of PG remains to be
clinical especially in resource-limited settings and there is no
consensus to date on its gold-standard treatment. The patient in this
case report was diagnosed clinically and responded well to steroids
among other prescribed medications and with no relapse after six-months
follow-up. A high index of suspicion is essential to execute its prompt
treatment. The objective of this case report was to report an unusual
case of involvement of external ear by PG and to the best of our
knowledge this is the first reported case in our country.
