Abstract

Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) is a form of cutaneous tuberculosis which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to cause both pulmonary as well as extrapulmonary infections. Though, cutaneous infection constitutes very small proportion of Mycobacterial infection, it has great morbidity and is sometimes a diagnostic challenge. Herein we report a case of 34 year old immunocompetent patient who had multifocal verrucous tuberculosis in the absence of a primary focus.
