  • Title: Nodular granulomatous phlebitis: a phlebitic tuberculid.
    Author: McHugh A, Siller G, Williamson R, Faulkner C.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2008 Nov; 49(4):220-2. PubMed ID: 18855785.
    Abstract:
    A 22-year-old woman presented with recurrent non-ulcerating skin nodules overlying the great saphenous vein on the anteromedial lower legs. Histology showed a granulomatous phlebitis, and polymerase chain reaction performed on lesional skin detected DNA specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The lesions resolved with anti-tuberculous therapy. This case may be a further example of nodular granulomatous phlebitis, a phlebitic tuberculid.
