A 23-year-old man presented with diffuse swelling of the left buttock with overlying skin lesions associated with seropurulent discharge. There was no past history of tuberculosis. Routine investigations were normal and smears of the discharge for bacteria, fungi, and AFB were negative. However, culture of skin biopsy showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Skin and lymph node biopsy showed granulomatous inflammation suggestive of tuberculosis. Administration of antitubucular therapy led to complete resolution of the lesions within 12 months.
一名23岁男性患者，左臀部出现弥漫性肿胀，伴有皮肤病变及脓性分泌物。既往无结核病史。常规检查正常，分泌物细菌、真菌及抗酸杆菌涂片均为阴性。然而，皮肤活检培养显示为结核分枝杆菌。皮肤及淋巴结活检显示肉芽肿性炎症，提示为结核病。给予抗结核治疗后，病变在12个月内完全消退。
