ABSTRACT
A commonly underdiagnosed harbinger of visceral tuberculosis, lichen scrofulosorum classically manifests as centripetally located erythematous to violaceous cutaneous papules. Perifollicular and perieccrine tuberculoid granulomas constitute the histologic hallmark. We report a case of lichen scrofulosorum with involvement of the acral areas which is unusual. Also, dermoscopy, which has not yet been widely utilized in this condition gave a novel insights into histopathology in this case.
