Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Scrofuloderma is the most common form of cutaneous tuberculosis. The facial location is unusual and requires special care. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis is difficult due to the polymorphism of the anatomo-clinical pictures as well as the difficulty of isolating the causal agent. The combination of a range of clinical and paraclinical arguments justifies starting antibacillary treatment. CONCLUSION: Tuberculosis is endemic disease in our country; this endemicity is attested by the multiple cases of cutaneous tuberculosis reported in the literature.
