Scrofuloderma: A rare cutaneous manifestation of tuberculosis

Abstract

Scrofuloderma, cutaneous tuberculosis in the orofacial region, is rare and is often a confusing and challenging diagnosis for a dental physician. Here, we present a case report of a 7-year-old girl who had two ulcers in the right side of the face. Only with a proper history, general, and local examination and along with various investigative findings, the diagnosis was confirmed.
