Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
Mode of...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Summary

This case report details a rare instance of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis developing on a keloid, a presentation not previously documented in medical literature. This highlights the varied clinical manifestations of cutaneous tuberculosis.

Keywords:

Cutaneous tuberculosis keloid tuberculosis verrucosa cutis

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Infectious Diseases
Microbiology

Background:

Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) encompasses diverse presentations, including primary, secondary, or systemic associations.
Unusual clinical and histological features can impede timely diagnosis and treatment of skin TB.
Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis typically manifests as a solitary verrucous lesion on exposed areas, often with inflamed borders and sinus tracts.

Observation:

This report describes a unique case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis arising on a pre-existing keloid.
The lesion presented with characteristic features of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis.

Findings:

The development of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis over a keloid is a previously unreported phenomenon.
This case expands the known spectrum of cutaneous TB manifestations.

Implications:

Recognizing rare presentations of cutaneous TB is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
Further research into the pathogenesis of TB verrucosa cutis on keloids may be warranted.
Clinicians should consider tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in the differential diagnosis of atypical skin lesions, even on keloids.
