Scrofuloderma, a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB), typically arises from underlying tuberculous lymphadenitis. Although CTB comprises only 1%-2% of extrapulmonary cases, its burden may be underestimated in endemic countries, such as Nepal, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased morbidity. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl with a painless, ulcerated lesion in the intermammary region for 3 months, histopathologically diagnosed as scrofuloderma.
皮肤结核疹是一种罕见的皮肤结核病(CTB),通常由潜在的结核性淋巴结炎引起。尽管CTB仅占肺外病例的1%-2%,但其负担在尼泊尔等流行国家可能被低估,导致诊断延迟和发病率增加。我们报告了一名14岁女孩的病例,其乳房间区域出现无痛性溃疡病变3个月,经组织病理学诊断为皮肤结核疹。
