Perianal cutaneous ulcerations in tropical countries have multiple causes: bacterial, viral and parasitic. Taking the opportunity of a case observed in Bambari (CRA) of which the etiologic origin was not clearly established, the authors offer a proposal for a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol aimed at easing decision. Etiologies quickly cured, such as amoebiasis and tuberculosis have to be explored in priority.
