Tuberculosis is a major public health problem worldwide. In Morocco, tuberculosis is still endemic, with almost 30,000 cases notified annually. The distribution of tuberculosis cases according to localization shows a significant percentage of extra- pulmonary tuberculosis (43%) compared with 57% for Pulmonary tuberculosis. Cutaneous tuberculosis is an exceptional extra-pulmonary form of the disease, with an incidence of 0.5% to 2% of cases. Given that the clinical symptoms of cutaneous tuberculosis are variable and nonspecific, diagnosis is not always easy. We report a rare case of cutaneous tuberculosis in a patient with a history of pulmonary and cutaneous sarcoidosis.
