A 36-Year-Old Moroccan Man Presenting with Widespread Papules and Pustules

Cutaneous manifestations of tuberculosis are uncommon, can be nonspecific, and may demonstrate a wide variety of morphologies, including ulcerative papules, verrucous plaques, or nodules.

description Cutaneous manifestations of tuberculosis are uncommon, can be nonspecific, and may demonstrate a wide variety of morphologies, including ulcerative papules, verrucous plaques, or nodules. We report the case of a 36-year-old Moroccan man who presented with nearly 2 years of generalized folliculocentric pustules and nodules, night sweats, and weight loss. Workup revealed necrotic right axillary lymphadenopathy, multiple ill-defined hepatic lesions, and a positive interferon-γ release assay. These findings were most consistent with papulonecrotic tuberculosis.
