Abstract
|
|
|
A 25-year-old woman has been described who showed a pigeon-egg sized
erythematous anesthetic plaque on the dorsal aspect of the right thumb with tender local
nerve thickening for about 7 months.
A skin biopsy revealed confluent epithelioid tubercles containing multinucleated giant
cells with destruction of the sweat glands and nerves.
Unusual feature was an excessively small size of the lesion, requiring a careful
meticulous examination to differentiate it from various dermatoses.
