摘要
Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis and accounts to less than 2% of cases of tuberculosis. It can have varied manifestation. An accurate diagnosis can be achieved by clinical examination of lesion and relevant investigation including skin biopsy. The cutaneous tuberculosis responds excellently to anti-tubercular drugs. Here we describe a case of young adult female, with chronic non-healing leg ulcer. A diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis was established based on skin biopsy findings and her response to treatment with anti-tubercular drugs.
