Abstract:
We report a case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in a 33-year-old male patient who presented with mild itching verrucous plaque over the perineum. The Mantoux test revealed a positive reaction. The histophathologic picture consists of slight hyperkeratosis, irregular ac:anthosis overlying an inflammatory iafitrate in the dermis. Tuberculous granulomas with caseation necrosis were seen in the dermis. Tuber clebacillus was demonstrated. The patient was treated with Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrazine made for 6 months. To date, the skin lesions have markedly improved.
