Lupus Vulgaris Plaque Type on the Face Without Pulmonary Involvement: A Rare Case

Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare finding with a difficult diagnosis. This is mainly due to the low sensitivity and specificity of almost all diagnostic tests, accompanied by ambiguity in clinical presentations and non-specific clinical features. A 25-year-old Indian male is presented who reported having a thick, scaly lesion on the left side of his face. A definite diagnosis was achieved after a detailed clinical examination and a detailed diagnostic workup that involved a biopsy. He was put on antituberculous chemotherapy for six months.
