    Author: Bachmeyer C, Ammouri W, Moguelet P, Charoud A, Buot G, Grateau G, Caumes E.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 2007 Jan; 134(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 17384543.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous tuberculosis is rare in the developed countries. We report a case of tuberculous gumma in an immunocompetent patient diagnosed late. CASE-REPORT: A 33-year-old Moroccan woman was diagnosed with tuberculous gumma after presenting cutaneous nodules and subcutaneous abscesses that had developed during pregnancy and were present for 11 months. Cutaneous and pulmonary tuberculosis was discovered. The patient recovered under antimycobacterial treatment. COMMENTS: Cutaneous tuberculosis presents with a wide spectrum of clinical lesions. It should be considered in the presence of poorly known lesions such as gumma, which require investigation for underlying tuberculosis.
