Scorfuloderma of cheek (a cutaneous tuberculosis colliquativa cutis): Case report

Introduction Scrofuloderma is the most common form of cutaneous tuberculosis. The facial location is unusual and requires special care. Discussion The diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis is difficult due to the polymorphism of the anatomo-clinical pictures as well as the difficulty of isolating the causal agent. The combination of a range of clinical and paraclinical arguments justifies starting antibacillary treatment. Conclusion Tuberculosis is endemic disease in our country; this endemicity is attested by the multiple cases of cutaneous tuberculosis reported in the literature.
