Abstract

|
|
|
Lichen scrofulosorum is a rare disease of children and young adults. The cutaneous lesions of LS are typically symptomless, tiny, flat-topped papular eruptions, which are skin-colored and follicular in distribution. Histopathologically, LS shows perifollicular noncaseating granulomas. LS is usually associated with extrapulmonary tuberculosis, especially of the lymph nodes and bones, and has also been reported in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. However, the underlying focus is not always obvious, at the time of rash development, and could be diagnosed after the development of LS. Here, we describe a 43-year-old Korean woman with LS who developed tuberculous salpingitis 8 months later.
