- Abstract
Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is a rare clinical form of cutaneous tuberculosis resulting from the inoculation of I Mycobacterium tuberculosis i into the skin of previously infected patients.3,5 We described here an unusual case of cutaneous tuberculosis in a patient without comorbidities or immunosuppressive conditions, contrasting the apparent initial conditioning of the manifestation of tuberculosis only in these cases. Usually, these tests are only offered to municipalities previously selected by epidemiological and operational criteria.1,2 In the present report, the diagnosis was made based on histopathological evaluation, in which the presence of alcohol-acid-resistant bacilli and characteristic findings of cutaneous tuberculosis (tuberculosis verrucosa cutis) were observed.
