Cutaneous tuberculosis is not an uncommon entity but it often remains undiagnosed and is inappropriately treated due to its varied presentation. We present a 42-year-old male with lupus vulgaris in the perianal area, who was treated as lichen simplex chronicus with steroids for two years. With four drug antitubercular treatment, the patient had a dramatic response. The case is being reported because in this HIV era with the resurgence of tuberculosis, not only will there be an increase in incidence but also more involvement of atypical sites.
皮肤结核并非罕见疾病，但由于其表现多样，常未被诊断出来且治疗不当。我们报告一名42岁男性，肛周患有寻常狼疮，曾被误诊为慢性单纯性苔藓并使用类固醇治疗了两年。经过四联抗结核治疗，患者病情出现显著好转。之所以报告该病例，是因为在这个结核病再度流行的艾滋病时代，不仅发病率会上升，非典型部位的受累情况也会增多。
