Abstrakt: A 42-year-old white male military recruit presented with a 2-year history of painful ulcerations on the skin of his flanks and thighs. Prior skin biopsies were nondiagnostic but raised the suspicion of an infectious etiology due to the presence ofa granulomatous infiltrate. His medical history was significant for herpes zoster and eczema, and, on review of systems, he had a 1-year history of progressive fatigue and night sweats. Examination revealed approximately one dozen 1- to 5-cm indurated, dusky violaceous plaques on his trunk and lower extremities. Several of the plaques, including one on his right flank, had overlying deep ulcerations (Figure 1A and 1B). Bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy was present.
