Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common condition with increasing incidence worldwide. Cutaneous TB represents a small portion of extrapulmonary TB. Health care professionals must be aware of cutaneous forms of TB to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with vulvar TB cutis orificialis in association with pulmonary TB without any other involvement of genitourinary system. We discuss epidemiological aspects, classification, treatment, range of histopathological patterns, and use of ancillary techniques for diagnosis.
