Multifocal polymorphous cutaneous tuberculosis with Poncet’s disease: A case report

Abstract

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (ETB) involving skin with multiple lesions is an uncommon presentation of mycobacterial infection. Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) having multiple lesions with Poncet’s disease (tuberculous Rheumatism) is rarely reported. We hereby report a multifocal cutaneous tuberculosis with Poncet’s disease in a 19-year-old immunocompetent female.
