“…Indian reports indicate that tuberculosis verrucosa cutis occurred most commonly on the lower extremities and buttocks whereas hands were most commonly involved elsewhere. [2] Warty tuberculosis is usually solitary but multiple lesions may occur. The lesion typically starts with a painless, dusky red, firm, indurated nodule or papule that expands peripherally and is surrounded by inflammation.…”

“…Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis(TVC) also known as prosector's wart of Laennec [3], verruca necrogenica, anatomic tubercle, lupus verrucosus, and butcher's wart [4] is a paucibacillary form of cutaneous tuberculosis which occurs due to exogenous inoculation of tubercle bacilli into the skin in a previously sensitized patient [3] with a moderate to high degree of immunity [4]. The incidence of cutaneous tuberculosis has fallen from 2% to 0.15% [4].…”

Tüberkülozis verrukoza kutis (TVK) daha önceden tüberküloz enfeksiyonu geçirmiş veya immünite kazanmış hastalarda eksojen inokülasyon sonucu ortaya çıkan bir deri tüberkülozudur. Bu hastalarda tüberkülin duyarlılığı orta ve yüksektir. Erişkinlerde en sık el ve ayak parmak sırtını enfekte ederken çocuklarda genellikle gluteal bölge ve alt ekstremitelerde yerleşir. Otuz altı yaşında erkek hasta sağ ayakta yaklaşık 9 yıldan beri mevcut olan verrukoz yaralarla kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın öyküsünden hayvancılık ile uğraştığı öğrenildi. Hastanın yapılan dermatolojik muayenesinde sağ ayak iç yüzünde ve dördüncü parmak üzerinden ayak tabanına doğru yayılan çevresinde hafif eritemli halka olan, 3 adet verrukoz hiperkeratotik plak mevcuttu. Hastadan alınan seri biyopsilerin patolojik değerlendirilmesinde tüberkülozis verrukoza kutis bulgularına rastlandı. Akciğer grafisi ve toraks tomografisi değerlendirilmesinde tüberküloza bağlı aktif enfeksiyon bulgusu olmamakla beraber sağ akciğerde geçirilmiş tüberküloza sekonder değişiklikler saptandı. Hastaya izoniazid, rifampisin, etambutol ve morfazinamid den oluşan dörtlü anti tüberküloz tedavisi uygulandı. Tedavi sonucu lezyonlarda ortaya çıkan belirgin gerileme tanıyı doğrulamakta destekleyici oldu. Bu olgu Türkiye'de nadir olarak yayınlanmış TVK'nın tanısında hikaye ve lezyonların seyri kadar, alınan seri biyopsilerde görülen histopatolojik değişikliklerin önemli olduğunu göstermesi, ayrıca hastanın tedaviye verdiği yanıtla tanının doğrulanması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Özet AbstractTuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TVC) is a form of cutaneous tuberculosis caused by an exogenous inoculation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in previously infected or sensitized individuals. Tuberculin sensitivity is moderate to high in these patients. In adults tuberculosis verrucosa cutis occurs commonly on the dorsal aspect of fingers and toes but in children it often occurs on gluteal region and lower extremities. A 36-year-old man presented with verrucous lesion on his right foot which was present for 9 years. It was understood from history that he worked as a rancher. On dermatologic examination 3 verrucous hiperkeratotic plaques were present on medial and plantar aspects of the right foot and also on dorsal aspect of the forth toe of the same foot. In serial biopsy specimens which was obtained from the lesions, histopathologic findings compatible with tuberculosis verrucosa cutis was observed. On the chest X-ray and thoracic tomography there were no sign of infection related with tuberculosis and changes secondary to previous tuberculosis on the left lung were observed. After commencing anti tuberculosis therapy regime consisting of isoniazid, rifampicin, morphazinamide and ethambutol obvious healing in the lesions occurred. This rarely reported case in Turkey showed the importance of histopathologic changes observed in serial biopsies in diagnosis of TVC besides history and clinical course of the lesions. It also emphasized the role of response to treatment in confirming the diagnosis.
