From January 1990 to December 2001, we undertook a retrospective study in the dermatology department of Aristide le Dantec hospital in order to assess the epidemiologic, clinical and evolutionary profiles of @entity6794 ( @entity6794 ). All files of @entity1 diagnosed with PG were reviewed. The diagnosis was based on clinical and histological aspects. Fourteen files of @entity1 with PG were reviewed. They were constituted of 8 males and 6 females, with a median age of 24.5 (extreme 4 and 54 years). Paediatric forms represented 30 % of the cases. The typical aspect with an ulceration with elevated edge comprising of purulent hutchs was observed in all the cases. The localization on the level of the lower limbs was noted among 12 @entity1 (85.7 %). The PG was associated to chronic @entity31 (1 case), @entity1691 (1 case) and @entity309 in all cases. After 11 weeks treatment by oral corticoth  rapy at the daily posology of 1 mg/kg/, cicatrization of cutaneous lesions were noted in all the cases. Five reccurences were observed. @entity6794 remains a rare pathology with no difference on races and regions . this is particularly true on @entity1 . Our serie, is remarkable by the high frequency of its paediatric forms. As for clinical and evolutive aspects as well as associated pathologies, findings are comparable with those described other series

[ XXXX in dakar: about 14 cases].
