“…16 The limitation of this case report relies upon the area of occurrence as it is frequently found on the hands and in areas prone to trauma especially in TB prevalent developing countries. 17 To conclude, in the literature review of TBVC in South India, we have found only one case report of TBVC in association with miliary pulmonary TB. 18 Hernández-Martín, et al reported a case of verrucous plaque on the back of a hand, similar to our case.…”

Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) is exogenous paucibacillary cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) and is the third commonest type of CTB. Clinically, TBVC usually begins as isolated or multiple warty papules, and soon acquires a verrucous plaque and are usually located in the extremities. Here we report a case of 41-year-old South Indian woman presenting with occasional pruritus, erythematous scaly nodules and warty plaques on the back of right hand following nail prick. A positive Mantoux test, skin biopsy showing granuloma and related epidemiologic, clinical and histopathologic data with an excellent response of patient to the treatment confirmed TBVC.

“…Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, a type of CTB, occurs after direct inoculation into the skin and presents as a brownish-red warty growth most often in the feet, buttocks, and hands. Because it has various clinical and histopathological mimickers, diagnosis and treatment become a challenge, even with diagnostic and therapeutic advancements [2,5]. The patient's clinical presentation of tuberculosis also varies with immune status, with patients with HIV infection possessing even more bizarre presentations [6].…”

Zinc-responsive acral hyperkeratosis is regarded as a novel entity masquerading numerous skin disorders, such as psoriasis, acral necrolytic erythema, and tuberculosis. Tuberculosis itself is a great imitator and so is its cutaneous form. Herein, we present the case of a female misdiagnosed as a case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis due to clinical, biochemical, and histopathological features. The patient completed a full course of anti-tubercular therapy without an improvement and showed a dramatic response after a therapeutic trial of oral zinc. Thus, the patient was diagnosed as a case of zinc-responsive acral hyperkeratosis. In any form of acral hyperkeratotic lesions, zinc-responsive acral hyperkeratosis must be considered as a differential diagnosis.

“…[7] Gambaran klinis dari tuberkulosis kutan bervariasi dan banyak diantaranya sangat mirip dengan dermatosis di negara tropis. [8] Laporan kasus ini membahas mengenai temuan kasus AKP yang disebabkan Aspergillus niger dengan gambaran klinis menyerupai TVC. Kasus ini diangkat karena termasuk kasus yang jarang terjadi dan penegakkan diagnosisnya cukup sulit karena memiliki beberapa kemiripan dengan diagnosis banding secara klinis.…”

Pendahuluan: Aspergilosis kutis primer (AKP) adalah infeksi jamur invasif pada kulit yang jarang terjadi namun dapat mengancam jiwa. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh Aspergillus spp dan termasuk ke dalam mikosis profunda (subkutan). Laporan kasus: Seorang laki-laki berusia 63 tahun datang dengan keluhan luka pada kulit di kaki kanan sejak 5 tahun yang gatal, nyeri dan bernanah. Pemeriksaan dermatologis menunjukkan papul dan plak eritematosa multipel, permukaan verukosa sebagian tertutup krusta kuning kecoklatan, xerosis dan beberapa ulkus dengan pus. Diagnosis banding yang diajukan adalah Tuberkulosis verukosa kutis, Kromoblastomikosis dan Misetoma. Hasil kultur jaringan menunjukkan Aspergillus niger. Hasil biopsi menunjang diagnosis mikosis profunda. Pasien kemudian didiagnosis sebagai Aspergilosis kutis primer, diberikan terapi dosis denyut Itrakonazol dan mengalami perbaikan klinis dalam 2 minggu. Kesimpulan: Gambaran klinis atipikal pada pasien ini memberikan tantangan diagnostik bagi dermatologis. Pentingnya penegakan diagnosis pada pasien dengan mikosis profunda adalah untuk mengidentifikasi penyebab, menentukan tatalaksana tepat dan mencegah komplikasi.
