Abstract

Although tuberculosis is endemic in our country, yet cutaneous TB is relatively rare. The most common type is lupus vulgaris that is usually presented as red brown plaque with central scaring. Psoriasiform lupus vulgaris is rarely encountered where it is difficult to diagnosed, overlooked and under estimated. Here in we reported a case of psoriasiform lupus vulgaris without central scaring as an unusual and rare presentation of lupus vulgaris in order to increase the clinical awareness of dermatologists to such mode of presentation. To the best our knowledge, this is the first case in our country.
