Summary : A 54-year-old man attended our clinic for extensive ulcerations of the scalp and face. Over the previous 4 years, similar ulcers had developed on the retroauricular and nucal regions. On examination an irregular, deep and purulent ulcer with raised inflammatory edges was observed on the vertex area (Fig. 1). A small ulcer with a necrotic base was also present on the left temple, and pustules, abrasions and small ulcerations extended from the right temple to the eyebrow (Fig. 2). No lymphadenopathy was noted in either the auricular, cervical, or occipital chains.
