“…However, a negative PCR result in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue block does not rule out cutaneous TB because formalin fixation has been found to decrease the PCR amplification signal. So, a fresh specimen for PCR has been recommended [14].…”

Background: Lupus Vulgaris is the most common form of cutaneous tuberculosis. It represents a reactivation of infection in people with moderate to high immunity against mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lesions can develop in all ages, as a collection of discrete, red-brown papules that subsequently coalesce to form an indolent asymptomatic plaque on the affected site. Diagnosis constitutes a major challenge as the most definitive investigative modality, mantoux test is not always positive. Histological examination and initiation of antitubercular therapy usually leads to diagnosis and clinical cure respectively. Objective: We report a case of Lupus Vulgaris of external nose, a rare, underreported and commonly misdiagnosed condition in Nigeria.

“…In atypical variations of cutaneous tuberculosis, one needs to depend on examinations like histopathology, AFB examination, culture, or polymerase chain response (PCR) for confirmation [5]. Treatment and differentiating features of cutaneous tuberculosis was presented respectively in Table 1 and Table 2 [4,5,[6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
