ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is caused by the external inoculation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the skin of a person who already has a significant degree of cell mediated immunity to this organism. This form of cutaneous tuberculosis is less common. A 29-year-old male had a solitary adult palm sized, verrucous surfaced scaly plaque for about 10 years. The lesion was excised about 10 years ago but gradually increased in size. At first we suspected a deep mycosis and treated him with anti-fungal medication for 3 months. However, the skin lesion did not improve. He was then treated with anti-tuberculosis medication for 9 months under the impression of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. The skin lesion was almost healed and no recurrence has been observed for 8 months after the treatment.
