In the present work, we propose a study performed on a pole-on Be star using its IUE and FUSE spectra that we showed only slightly affected by circumstellar emission. All our computations take into account the effects of fast rotation on the spectra (differential Doppler broadening + deformation and gravitational darkening). Using the line profiles of several well known transitions and a least squares method, we determine the abundance of light elements in the photosphere of HD 120991 and compare them to the chemical composition of the interstellar medium seen in the line of sight.
