Sumario:Lupus vulgaris (LV) is a common type of cutaneous tuberculosis and commonly presents as a single erythematous plaque either on the face or buttocks with scarring and an active spreading edge. 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.
