ABSTRACT
An 80-year-old woman was admitted because of ag avation of preexisting dyspnea and was refened to the dermatology deparbnent for evaluation of three tender nodules on her extremitiom. A chest X-ray and CT scan suggested pulrnonaxy tuberculosis wikh an endobromchial sprtad, Her past medical histary showed congeative heart failure, treated pulmonery tuberculosis and corticstertoid medication for arthralgia. Acid-fast bacilli were observed in tissue smears and a biopsy specimen. Mycobacterium tubereulosis was recovered from cultures. We suggest that this case was a tuberculous gumma following pulmonary tuberculosis and that a tissue or pus smear for acid-fast bacilli is a very useful diagnostic toal in tuberculous gumma because tubercle bacilli are copious in numbcr.
