Abstract
|
|
|
We report a case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in a 34-year-old male patient who presented with asymptomatic verrucous plaque over the right buttock, right inner thigh and right inguinal area.
The Mantoux test revealed a strong positive reaction. The histologic picture consists of hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and papillomatosis overlying an inflammatory infiltrate in the upper dermis. Tuberculoid granulomas without caseation necrosis are
seen
in the dermis. Tubercle bailli were not demonstrated.
The patient was treated with INAH, Rifampicin and Ethambutol for 6 months. To date, the skin lesions have markedly improved. (Kor J Dermatol 1992 ; 30 (3) : 389-392)
