Cutaneous tuberculosis an unusual localization: A case report

2024Open accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a major public health concern. Morocco is a tuberculosis endemic country; nearly 30,000 cases are recorded each year. Pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for 57%, extrapulmonary tuberculosis 43%. Cutaneous localization is exceptional; it accounts for 0.5% to 2% of cases of tuberculosis. It is very difficult to diagnose, given the variability of clinical presentation. We report a rare case of cutaneous tuberculosis in a patient with a history of pulmonary and cutaneous sarcoidosis.
