Solitary tuberculous ulceration of Pinna: A rare presentation.

ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis of pinna is a rare presentation. We present a case of a 25 year-old woman who presented with a chronic, non-healing ulceration of pinna. On histopathological evaluation of the incisional biopsy from the lesion, she was found to have tuberculosis of pinna. She responded to 4-drug anti-tubercular treatment. To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of any similar case in the past.
