Popis: Chronic skin lesions that occur in patients who have previously stayed in tropical countries pose a diagnostic challenge for physicians. In particular, if there is a granulomatous inflammatory reaction histologically, infectious diseases should also be included in the differential diagnosis. Particularly in persons returning from high-risk regions such as Vietnam, this includes cutaneous tuberculosis, which entails a thorough examination of the patient and comprehensive therapy. This case study shows which steps should be considered if cutaneous tuberculosis is suspected.
