There were few verrucous plaques over the right foot for the same duration. Those plaques were initially ignored and mistaken as lymphoedema-induced secondary changes by primary care physicians. Histopathology of the skin lesion showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with upper dermal granulomatous infiltrate and a diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa c utis was suspected. Subsequently, the lesions as well as lymphoedema improved significantly with antitubercular therapy. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
