| Popis: | Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) makes up a small proportion of extrapulmonary TB. Studies from India report an incidence of 0.1% of all cases of extrapulmonary TB. Lupus vulgaris (LV) is a common form of TB which is usually seen in individuals who have been previously sensitized with Mycobacterium TB. Here, we are reporting a case of orofacial granulomatosis in a 21-year-old female which highlights the importance of histopathology in aiding diagnosis in such patients where multiple etiologies may be responsible for a particular clinical presentation, along with the atypical presentation of LV. |
