“…This is consistent with the moroccan series previously published where they represent 72% [6], and 66.6% [7]. In a malian series they represented 67.2% [10], and in another tunisian series, they represented 84.6% [11]. Tuberculous gumma, also known as metastatic tuberculosis abscess, is an outcome of hematogenous dissemination of mycobacteria from primary focus [12].…”

Background: Burden of tuberculosis still persists in Morocco despite major advances in its treatment strategies. Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is rare, and underdiagnosed, due to its clinical and histopathological polymorphism. The purpose of this multi-center retrospective study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical, histopathological and evolutionary aspects of CTB in Fez (Morocco).Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive multicenter study from May 2006 to May 2016. The study was performed in the department of dermatology at the University Hospital Hassan II and at diagnosis centers of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases of Fez (Morocco). The patients with CTB confirmed by histological and/or biological examination were included in the study.Results: 146 cases of CTB were identified. Men accounted for 39.8% of the cases (58 patients) and women 60.2% (88 cases), sex-ratio was 0.65 (M/W). The age of the patients ranged from 15 months to 92 years, with an average age of 34. 7 years. The average length of follow-up was 22 ± 10 months. The clinical forms were dominated by tuberculosis scrofuloderma (46%) and erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) (20%), followed by gummas (14%), lupus vulgaris (8%), tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (4%), papulonecrotic tuberculids (3%), tuberculosis chancre (3%) and orificial tuberculosis (2%). Conclusion:The predominance of multibacillary forms of cutaneous tuberculosis, scrofuloderma, and gummas testify to the endemicity of this disease in our country.

“…In Ivory Coast, 36,000 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis (cTB) were reported in 2014, and in a meta-analysis of hospital-based studies, the proportion of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) ranged from 16% to 50% with lymph node and pleural forms predominating [3]. However, the cutaneous location of the disease remains rare and difficult to diagnose due to its anatomical-clinical polymorphism, which is the source of a multitude of differential diagnoses and patient wandering [4][5][6][7]. Based on this observation, we conducted this study with the aim of studying the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, and evolutionary particularities of cutaneous tuberculosis in Abidjan.…”

Background: Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare and under-diagnosed localization of tuberculosis due to its anatomo-clinical polymorphism and the infrequent isolation of mycobacteria. The general objective of our study was to identify its epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, and evolutive particularities in our working environment. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of case series from January 2019 to July 2022. Any patient presenting suggestive clinical signs of cutaneous tuberculosis, as well as a histological and/or biological confirmation, was included. Results: Out of 26024 patients consulted, 10 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis were identified (0.03%), with a male predominance (M/F ratio of 9). The average age of the patients was 24 years, with an interquartile range of 23 years and extremes of 5 and 57 years. The main clinical forms identified were scrofulodermas (7 cases). We noted three exceptional cases in which several clinical forms were associated: gummas and verrucous tuberculosis, scrofulodermas and gummas, and scrofulodermas, gummas, and verrucous tuberculosis. Histopathology of skin fragments showed tuberculoid granuloma associated with caseous necrosis in 100% of the cases. Auramine staining found AFB in 67% while PCR revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 85.71%. HIV serology was negative in all patients. Conclusion: Cutaneous tuberculosis in Abidjan is dominated by multibacillary forms, namely gums and scrofuloderma such as other series in the West African subregion. The negativity of HIV serology in all our patients raises the question of the link between cutaneous tuberculosis and HIV as well as the favoring factors of cutaneous tuberculosis in our context.

Warty cutaneous tuberculosis of the nose: A rare localization

Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare, extra-pulmonary form of tuberculosis caused by mycobacteria of the tuberculosis complex. It is characterized by clinical polymorphism often posing a difficult diagnostic challenge. Herein, we report a case of cutaneous tuberculosis in its warty form located on the nose. This was a 57-year-old patient who was infected in the classroom three months previously while taking lessons from a woman with pulmonary tuberculosis. A facial examination revealed a blackish, papillomatous patch invading almost the entire nose, with a keratotic surface spreading over the wings of the nose. The diagnosis of verrucous tuberculosis was reached on the basis of epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical arguments. Under anti-tuberculosis treatment for six months, the lesion had healed without sequelae. The diagnosis of verrucous cutaneous tuberculosis must be established in the presence of any chronic and crusty lesion. The management responds to the treatment protocol for all forms of tuberculosis.
