  • Title: A case of tuberculous gumma: there is more to it than meets the eye.
    Author: Mohta S, Kumar A, Singh N, Wig N.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Oct 19; 2017():. PubMed ID: 29054947.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a young girl who presented with multiple cutaneous abscesses over 2 years at different sites. She had no constitutional symptoms or history of tuberculosis. On investigation, she was found to have rifampicin-sensitive tuberculosis presenting as tubercular gumma, a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis which occurs due to haematogenous spread of the bacilli. She had disseminated disease involving the spinal column with associated psoas abscess. A thorough evaluation was done for immune-deficiency workup but was all negative. She was given antitubercular therapy and showed a good response to therapy at a follow-up of 1 month.
