Multiple lesions of LV are sparingly reported in the literature. We hereby report a case of LV in a male presenting with multiple lesions over the buttock, thigh, and trunk. The diagnosis was done on the basis of clinical findings, histopathology, positive tuberculin test, and response to a standard anti-tubercular regimen. |
