Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (a case report)

A case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in an unusual site is being reported. The patient had presented with recurrence of a perianal growth which had been excised in the past. A histopathological study done during the recurrence confirmed tuberculosis. The patient's chest X-ray showed pulmonary tuberculosis, though he had no chest symptoms and sign. He responded favourably to anti-tubercular treatment.
