    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Co-occurrence of neoplastic and tuberculous processes is rare.
    • Cutaneous tuberculosis and cancer can present with similar clinical signs.
    • Diagnostic challenges arise due to overlapping symptomatology.

    Observation:

    • Case 1: Lymphosarcoma with secondary cutaneous tuberculosis.
    • Cases 2 & 3: Cutaneous tuberculosis with secondary squamous cell carcinoma.
    • Clinical presentation of secondary conditions mimicked primary disease progression.

    Findings:

    • Failure to respond to treatment for the initial condition was a key diagnostic indicator.
    • Tuberculosis and cancer can present concurrently, complicating diagnosis.
    • Early identification of secondary processes is crucial for effective management.
