Histopathologically, the lesion consisted of s granuloma composed of epithelioid cells and lymphocytes. Lsboratory examinations including hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, and chest roentgenography were normal. The Mantoux test was strongly positive. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis medieation resulted in a good response.
