Lichen Scrofulosorum in a Patient with Tuberculous Cervical Lymphadenopathy: A case report

Abstract

Introduction: Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with various clinical manifestations. Tuberculids, a type of CTB, are probably the result of hyperergic immune reaction induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lichen scrofulosorum (LS) is a rare tuberculid mostly seen in children and young adults with or without other manifestations of tuberculosis.
