Tuberculosis continues to be an important public health problem and cutaneous tuberculosis constitutes a minor proportion of extra pulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis. Elephantiasis of the external genitalia, as a sequel to cutaneous tuberculosis, in a 40-year-old diabetic lady is being reported for its rarity. The patient also had lesions of healed scrofuloderma of 27 years' duration, in both axillae, with residual pedunculated nodules.
结核病仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题,皮肤结核占结核病肺外表现的一小部分。本文报告了一名40岁糖尿病女性患者,因皮肤结核继发外生殖器象皮肿,实属罕见。该患者双侧腋窝还存在病程长达27年的已愈合的皮肤瘰疬病变,伴有残留的带蒂结节。
