Tuberculosis Verrucosa Cutis in an Unusual Site

Abstract

Tuberculosis Verrucosa Cutis, a verrucous form of cutaneous tuberculosis which occurs from an exogenous inoculation of tubercle bacilli into the skin. It occurs in patients who have been previously sensitized. We report a rare case of a patient who developed tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in his perianal region. This has only been presented once in the previous literature.
