ABSTRACT
Sporotrichoid tuberculosis is a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis; it primarily affects children after a post-traumatic inoculation. The diagnosis is often difficult and based on a set of arguments; it should be considered in any sporotrichoid lesion, especially in tuberculosis endemic countries. The following describes a new case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis skin infection with an unusual sporotrichoid clinical appearance in a healthy woman, emphasizing the diagnostic difficulties with a review of literature.
