Abstract

We report a case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in a 39-year-old male patient, who presented verrucous plaque on the dorsum of right third finger. Seven months ago, he had a cut with paper and skin lesion developed. Histopathologic features revealed parakeratosis, irregular acanthosis in the epidermis and inflammatory cellular infiltrates and tuberculoid granulomas in the dermis. AFB- positive bacilli were demonstrated. He has been treated with isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide for 4 months till now and the skin lesion has been markedly improved.
