Two cases of peri-anal ulceration of tuberculous origin are reported: one revealed an active pulmonary and ileo-caecal tuberculosis, the other complicated a chronic pulmonary tuberculosis of several years' duration. Cutaneous manifestations of tuberculosis are exceptional. In patients with protracted peri-anal ulceration, a biopsy should be performed that will show a typical tuberculoid granuloma. The most frequently encountered anorectal tuberculous lesions are suppurations and fistulae. The main differential diagnosis is Crohn's disease with anorectal manifestations.
