Tuberculosis can involve multiple organ systems concurrently. We report a case of simultaneous brain tuberculomas and scrofuloderma occurring in the same patient. Skin biopsies confirmed scrofuloderma and the patient was successfully treated for tuberculosis with resolution of the brain masses. This case illustrates the importance of dermatological manifestations of systemic disease as an accessible source for diagnosis and guidance in appropriate therapy.
结核病可同时累及多个器官系统。我们报告了一例同时发生在同一患者身上的脑结核瘤和瘰疬性皮肤病变。皮肤活检证实了瘰疬性皮肤病变，该患者成功接受了结核病治疗，脑部肿块也得到了缓解。该病例说明了皮肤病变作为系统性疾病的一种可及表现，对于诊断和指导适当治疗的重要性。
