    • Abstract:
      Ecthyma gangrenosum is a rare and highly lethal cutaneous infection classically associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia. We report a 58-year-old man with multiple myeloma receiving chemotherapy who presented with 2 days of painless left periorbital swelling that rapidly progressed to a blackish eschar. His absolute neutrophil count was 0.10/mm 3 ; platelet count, 14,000/mm 3 ; and hemoglobin, 6 g/dL. Computed tomography showed diffuse left periorbital cellulitis. Blood cultures grew pan-sensitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and the patient died from sepsis and multiorgan failure.
