description Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare form of tuberculosis infection that may lead to chronic lesions of skin and be missed in diagnosis due to location of the appearance of the lesions. This is a very rare case of peri-oral cutaneous tuberculosis in a 21-year-old man with no other specific sign of symptoms of tuberculosis infection but mimics signs of Herpesviridae family infection. The biopsy of the lesions and Ziehl–Neelsen stain revealed the diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis. By the beginning of the treatment of this unusual form of tuberculosis, the lesions had begun to fade and after 8 months, they were totally faded.
