Abstract
Lupus vulgaris (LV) is a chronic, progressive, and potentially destructive form of cutaneous tuberculosis commonly seen in previously sensitized individuals with moderate to high immunity. We present a case of LV located on the nose of an 84-year-old female patient, discuss the diagnosis and treatment modalities, and emphasize the importance of having a high index of suspicion for this condition.
